Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, covering an area of approximately 25,711 square kilometers. We were there for 6 days. Given the island’s size, six days aren’t sufficient to cover all the major sites, but during my research and planning, I concentrated on Palermo, Catania, and nearby attractions. We spent 3 days in Catania and 3 days in Palermo. We used Catania and Palermo as starting points to explore the surrounding areas. During the day, we relaxed at the beach, and in the evenings, we wandered through the cities, soaking in the Sicilian vibe without focusing on any specific attractions—just enjoying the atmosphere. So, let’s start!
