Sicily in 3 Days

Welcome to Sicily! 🍋 With affordable flights to Catania from most of Europe, this vibrant city is the perfect starting point for your Sicilian adventure. In just three days, you’ll explore Catania’s lively streets, take in the stunning views of Taormina, and uncover the ancient wonders of Syracuse. With a mix of history, culture, and adventure, this itinerary has everything you need for a perfect Sicilian getaway. Let’s go! 🚆

Things to Know Before You Go:

☀️ Sicily is a very dry island. As of summer 2024, it hasn’t rained for months, which is unusual since there’s usually at least one good rain each year.

🚆 Sicily has a decent train system, but it’s still Italy—delays and cancellations are common, so don’t expect to arrive on time.

💶 Most churches and historic sites have entrance fees. It’s usually just a few euros, but if you’re planning to visit several in a day, those fees can add up.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
👋🏼 Hey there, I’m Barbora! 🇨🇿 Born and raised in the fairytale city of Prague, I’ve got a knack for finding magic in every corner of the world—whether it's devouring tacos in a charming Mexican village or climbing a volcano in Guatemala 🌍 ✈️ After chasing degrees in literature (because who doesn’t love getting lost in a good story?), I packed my bags and settled on a never-ending journey through Latin America. Now, I’m living the beach life in Mazunte, Mexico, but you’ll still catch me hopping around the globe—especially if there’s good food or a unique experience involved 🏖️ 💼 By day, I’m the operations mastermind at Prague City Adventures, where I craft tailor-made itineraries and help visitors make the most of their stay in my beloved hometown. By night, I’m dreaming up new journeys across Central America for backpackers, solo female travelers, adventure seekers, and anyone else who wants to explore the world on their own terms. 🏅 What I'm good at: • getting out of my comfort zone • low-budget trips • eating my way through my low budget • solo travel & slow travel • authentic experiences • supporting local businesses 🙅🏽‍♀️ What I suck at: • splurging • wellness recommendations • luxury holidays • indoor skiing • staying at home 📷 @barcheeba ⇢ Follow me on Instagram for some travel pics and plenty of cats 🐈‍⬛
