| Sicilia | Where? Posted: Sat October 24, 2009 05:04 PM UTC
Which town or area would you suggest makes a good hub for visiting Sicily? We are not into night life/clubs, etc. We are into art/architecture/culture. We don't need amenities such as loads of restaurants but would like somewhere with a choice of two or three and also near places to buy food to cook i.e. some sort of market or grocery store. We would like somewhere that offers good public transportation to other parts of the island. We are thinking of spending about four weeks, so does it make more sense to have two hubs? Any and all suggestions are gratefully received.

| Sicilia | Some help for my October holiday... please ;) Posted: Mon September 14, 2009 05:00 PM UTC
Hi there,
My boyfriend and I have booked flights to Tripani 10th - 17th October. We'd like a really relaxing holiday by a lovely beach with clear sea. We won't have a car but both enjoy cycling. I'd absolutely love to stay on Favignana but my boyfriend is worried about it being too cold. He has heard that the weather will be better on the south coast. I'm a bit worried that the south is a bit ugly! We really are confused! Does anyone have a solution? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you... Sally x |

| Trapani | Getting around Trapani Posted: Sat September 5, 2009 01:59 PM UTC
I'm considering a short break to Trapani - just a couple of days. As I won't have a car, I'm interested in finding out how easy it will be to get about. Buses seem to be more convenient in trains, but I haven't found timetables, so I'm not sure how regular these are. As it's a short trip, I'd prefer to go elsewhere if getting from place to place is likely to be difficult.
Is it easy to get into Trapani and beyond if you stay outside the town? In Erice, for example? I also wonder if buses into town meet the Ryanair flights? The airport website mentioned buses arriving after AirOne flights, but the overwhelming majority of flights to the airport seem to be Ryanair. Does anyone know? Many thanks for reading! Bee |

Hello!
I'm going to Sicily with my boyfriend for a week mid September. We're poor teachers so are going to take our tent and camp! Please, can anyone recommend a campsite not too far from the airport, near the beach, romantic and with showers? I've been looking on google but there are so many campsites and I'm confused!

| Sicilia | Buon Giorno! Posted: Sun August 23, 2009 10:55 AM UTC
I am taking my two children (4 and 7 years) and my mother to stay in Sicilia from 5 - 16 october.
We will arrive in Trapani and are not planning to hire a car. We want to stay somewhere near a beach, but still we want it to be a cosy small town... Have been thinking about Marsala or Cefalu, anybody who will give me some advice or inputs? What is your favorite place to stay in Sicilia? I have earlier stayed in Taormina and Catania area, I love Sicilia and will always come back! Linn |

| Sicilia | Sicily Itinerary: HELP! Posted: Tue August 18, 2009 10:01 PM UTC
Dear VT-ers,
My boyfriend and I are planning to be in Sicily between the 9-15th of September this year and would like some suggestions from you lovely people! We are flying in and out of Palermo and staying there on the 9th/10th and the night of the 14th. In between, we have the evening of the 11th, the 12th, the 13th and the morning of the 14th (have a hire car). We thought we would concentrate on Western Sicily (we would like to drive around and be quite relaxed): Erice/Trapani (one night), Selinunte (one night), drive through Marsala and maybe one night in Enna in central Sicily. Is this doable? Any suggestions? Good hotels seem to be few and far between in Erice/Trapani, though we seem to have some options in Selinunte and Marsala. Should we go to Taormina/Catania instead? Any suggestions? We are far more interested in having a lovely time than ticking "seen" boxes. Any help re itinerary and places to stay/eat would be most welcome! Mille grazie! |
