Travelogues Sicily

Coastal strip in northwestern Sicily.

Capital of Sicily. Definitely worth more than just two days.

The holiday starts with a relaxed journey with the Airport Express FEX to BER. Everything runs smoothly here. Thanks to the pre-booked runway security check, it takes no more...

A must-see, mentioned in every travel guide, so we take a look. And it is truly impressive, even though we are not so much into cultural history. To have created these...

We spent two wonderful days in Agrigento. We spent our time on the beach and sightseeing. The Scala dei Turchi and the temples of Agrigento were very impressive. The view from...

Relaxation at the northwestern tip of Sicily.

Spring!

The night at the tower was restless as expected. Not because of the young people, but because of the adjacent street. Traffic all night long, unbelievable! Probably all the...

Syracuse is our next destination. It's Sunday and yet there are countless tour buses parked in the city parking lot, it's really busy here. It's very hot and we close all the...

We spend our first two nights at a campsite. In itself fantastic: in mid September only a handful of campers left - we stand in the shade under eucalyptus trees with a view of...

From Taormina, take the gondola down to the sea, and from there, the small island of Bella can be reached on foot via a small (rocky😬) pathway that goes up to about the knees....
