Sicily

I was in Palermo for a few days last October. The weather was beautiful and I really enjoyed the city and surrounds. I was very lucky to be there while the annual Targa Florio rally was getting underway, and being able to watch the classic cars weaving their way through the Palermo thoroughfares.

I stayed in a very nice, reasonably priced 1-bedroom apartment in the centre of the city, which made all the sights and transport hubs quite walkable (at least for me, with only a backpack to haul around). For anyone who may be interested, this is the apartment, which I can thoroughly recommend. Eleonora, the host, was absolutely lovely.

I loved Sicily so much that I have made bookings to go back in June and stay in an apartment in Catania for a few days.
 
Oh, and I forgot to mention, an easy half day trip from Palermo is the beautiful beach town of Mondello, which can be easily and inexpensively reached by public bus from Palermo. Google Maps has all the details.IMG_20241012_101801.jpg

Thanks - I think I need three weeks in Sicily to do what I want but only have about 10 days
 
@VPS , were you happy with your Sicily accommodation ?
And if so can you post the property names.

I am researching places to stay at the moment.

Thank you
 
Oh this thread may be a handy place to ask any experts what it's like (primarily weather wise) in early April?
In the early honeymoon planning stages for Italy and thinking we start in Sicily then head north as it warms up.
