Greek - Roman theatre

Suggested itinerary for 12-14 incredible days in the Southern Italian region of Sicily. I always thought Sicily was quite small for some reason, I think I may have been thinking of Capri… turns out Sicily is the largest region in Italy! It would be an absolute dream to drive through by car, but for me, it was all buses... and a LOT of them. Despite getting from one end to the other in 7+ hours and 3 buses, it was always a very scenic drive. You got to see all sorts of beautiful landscapes along the way, including vineyards, lakes, beaches, and mountains. If you have 12 nights to spend in Sicily like I did, this is my recommended itinerary for you based on how much I liked each place.  I have attached accomodation options (my favourite hostels) with links to book, as well as mapped locations of restaurants, cafes and activity locations.

At the slope of the Etna, facing pristine Mediterranean sea, appear Catania. Situated on the eastern cost of Sicily, Catania offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Wander through its historic streets and be prepared to be struck by the rich history and Baroque architecture. Furthermore, Sicilian food is not something that you can not skip. Be prepared to fall in love to the deliciousness of the cannoli, arancini and more. What will you find in this guide: - What to do All the most and less known landmarks in Catania with explanations and some suggestions. - Where to eat From having breakfast with granita and brioche, to eat some arancini, to have a proper dinner with fish or pizza, I got you covered. - Where to party! Whether you want to just unwind with a good wine or a nice cocktail or you want to strut your stuff on the dancefloor, you have plenty of choice. - Where to sleep Are you looking for some hostel options because you want to meet fellow travellers, maybe you want the comfort of an hotel or you are looking to a more posh or romantic solution, I give you a choice to where to stay. - How to get around You have just landed in Catania but need to know how to get yourself around, you will find some information about public transportation. Amuninni! (Let's go!)

Discover the stunning east coastline of Sicily on this 5-day, 4-night adventure, beginning and ending at Catania Airport. It is a point-to-point itinerary that I meticulously planned, implemented, and optimised. During the trip you'll explore the vibrant city centre of Catania, Taormina's charming streets and parks, and the breathtaking Greek theatre at sunset. Consider an extra day in Taormina to soak in its beauty. Visit Syracuse, the Neapolis Archaeological Park, and enjoy an overnight stay on the historic Island of Ortigia. Wander through Ortigia’s enchanting streets, cathedrals, and castle to conclude your journey. This journey let you fully embrace the perfect blend of culture, history, and coastal splendor! My Personal Taste: You may have already known my style, I seek solitude, classical gardens, and also enjoy blending into the hustle and bustle of urban life. I care deeply about aesthetics and experience. Interested?
