Travelogues Sicily

We spent two perfect beach days in Avola. Just chilling out. In the evening there was a city festival in Avola, where people of all ages gathered. There was a parade with music...

Cozy days with relatives are soon behind us. We actually wanted to move on this morning, but our Giorgino needed an operation. Our air conditioning had stopped working. Luckily,...

To distract ourselves from the truly ubiquitous trash and blocked beaches, we drive to a great gorge, the Cavagrande del Cassibile. Almost like a miniature Grand Canyon....

We arrive in Trapani and we don't like the suggested pitches at the harbor and in the city. Finally, we end up on the road to the northeastern beach. It is a one-way street and...

View from the apartment door

Taormina is a beautiful city. The old town with its alleys, stairs, and restaurants is simply cozy and idyllic. And if you're lucky, you can see Mount Etna active in the...

Our first stop in Sicily is called Cefalù. We head straight from the port in Palermo to the east, as we want to explore Palermo in detail later. Cefalù is a small port city on...

Today it's time to change location again, or as my friends from Cologne (right, Micha - or?) like to say: 🎼 The caravan moves on….! We planned our route to Realmonte so that we...

At 4:00 am, the important message rings out from the on-board speakers that we will reach Palermo in an hour and that breakfast can now be enjoyed one floor below us. We ignore...

Finally the ferry ride to Palermo. But first, waiting in line in the harbor of Genoa in the evening... Later it got dark Finally on the ferry We spent the next day...

Now it is already Hello Sicily. We have seen a good 2/3 of Sicily and now we are heading back to the mainland, and our journey takes us to Tropea

Gut erhaltener Tempel und Amphitheater aus alten Zeiten.

And again, we manage to hit the road at exactly 10:00. Today, our route leads to Mount Etna, the highest and most active volcano in Europe, standing at 3,357 meters. The...

This morning the day starts gray and cold. We don't let that stop us and pack our hiking gear and backpack. We're heading to the nearby Zingaro Nature Reserve near Scolpello....

By chance we end up in Borgo Bonsignore. The beach is beautiful, but the pitch is rather dilapidated. That's why a fence has been installed, which spoils the pictures with its...

We leave our beautiful viewpoint and drive through Palermo. The city is very big and the traffic is chaotic. Everyone is driving around wildly and honking. The fishermen...

We decide to leave Sicily again. The island hasn't really captivated us. There are indeed beautiful places and coasts here, but we have to be honest and say that the garbage and...

We are leaving Alicudi. Stephan is relieved to be back on the mainland. The van is still there. And after the somewhat eerie and secluded days on the island, Stephan treats...

We are impressed by Palermo: colorful markets, magnificent buildings, multicultural, street food, nightlife and still somehow Italian... For two days we are staying in an Airbnb...

After visiting the city of Trapani, we drive to the nearby salt pans. Since the Middle Ages, the "white gold" has been extracted here. The salt lakes stretch for many...

Historical beautiful old town. Visit the Parco Archeologico with impressive excavations from the Greeks and Romans. It's raining and then finally the sun comes out :-)....

This morning the defective water heater in our apartment is supposed to be replaced. In disbelief, we leave the place of cold water and drive to Agrigento to a shopping mall....

We are horrified by the amount of garbage littering here in Sicily. Whole bags of household waste are simply thrown out of car windows. The nature, streets, and beaches are...

We drive along the coast. Actually we wanted to visit Marsala. The city known for its delicious wine is anything but inviting, many crumbling houses, garbage everywhere. We are...

One rain shower and thunderstorm follows the next. The only thing that gets us out of bed around 09:00 is the threat from our dear landlady to provide us with fresh pastries....

The 19th day of our journey begins gray and rainy. The asphalt is hard - we are harder and wear rain pants over our hiking pants. So prepared we drive the 20 kilometers on...

Unfortunately, this morning we have strong winds with hurricane gusts, which were already warned by the German Weather Service yesterday. As it was said earlier in Struwwelpeter...

Mandel cookies - sea salt production - watching the fishermen at 6 am - oysters & wine at sunset - Isabell is slowly getting better :-).

Überfahrt nach Messina und erste Pasta in wunderbaren kleinen Ristorante unter Einheimischen am Fährhafen von Milazzo. Wir genießen es hier, lassen uns treiben, Gespräche mit...

"Does our love have a chance in the camper?" It's going to be quite the experience! The weather is bad, the parking spot is terrible, the electric toothbrush is broken (for...
