Description
Find your own journey. Let Sicily reveal itself through local flavors, its coast, and daily life in its cities. A bike ride, a market, or an unexpected experience can give your holiday a new direction. Lonely Planet Sicily provides a regional starting point for gathering such ideas for a trip that suits you.
Experiences to look forward to. Cycling to Cala Rossa, a treasure hunt at a flea market in Palermo, and a day of salt harvesting in the salt pans south of Trapani are among the examples highlighted in the book. The guide combines maps, itineraries, and practical advice. The interior images also provide an impression of the content, introduction, and a route featuring several of Sicily’s highlights.
Who is this guide suitable for? Choose this book when Sicily is the primary destination for your Italy trip and you wish to explore more than one holiday area. It is suitable for both a round trip and for finding a base with surrounding opportunities. Let your interests guide which parts of the island you prioritize.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience. Feel free to leave some days less fixed, so the plan also has room for what you discover along the way.
A physical travel guide is great to return to when discussing the next leg of the trip. Find an idea you noted, use the map as a basis for the conversation, and let the plans develop as you get to know the destination. The book can follow the trip from the first ideas at home to the choices you make along the way, and become a keepsake to leaf through once you’re back.
