Pizza. Pasta. Beach. Baroque. La Dolce Vita! Sicily promises to be a fantastic trip, but the road trip still needs some planning. I’m happy to provide you with…
Where olive groves meet the Mediterranean Sea, there lies Sciacca. In southeastern Sicily, crystal-clear blue waters and deep green olive trees await you. Life seems to move just a little slower here. Explore Sciacca’s historic center and discover peace in the surrounding countryside.
This blog is meant to temper your expectations of Scala dei Turchi a bit. Because you’ve probably also seen those beautiful photos of people climbing on gorgeous white rocks. Starting in 2025, you need a ticket to visit Scala dei Turchi – and those tickets are in demand! Let me tell you more about it.
WHAT?!?! Rain on Ibiza? Unfortunately, it does happen. Exploring beautiful bays, visiting beach clubs, and sunbathing are a lot less fun when it rains. So what are you supposed to do then?
In the town of Caltagirone in Sicily, everything revolves around ceramics. It’s literally everywhere: streets, restaurants, stairs – everything becomes more beautiful with ceramics, is the motto here. You see ceramics all over the island anyway. Still, ceramics from Caltagirone is (so I’m told) on a completely different level. Come see for yourself!
Baroque, wine ice cream, and donkey sausage? You bet, Ragusa has it all. Ragusa in Sicily is one of the baroque towns in the Val di Noto. Wander through the historic center and alternate between baroque churches and palazzos with terrace hopping. Ask for the house specialties, and suddenly, you’re on a culinary journey, too. I’m happy to share some travel tips for Ragusa with you.
The magic of the town of Noto in southeastern Sicily becomes clear around sunset. The many baroque buildings take on a warm, golden glow. It almost looks like a movie set (and it turns out it actually is). In this blog, I’m sharing the 10 best things to do in Noto, Sicily.
Syracuse is probably my biggest surprise on my Sicily trip. It’s a town on the southeastern coast of Sicily, and I’d never heard of it before. Without any expectations, I step onto the Ortigia peninsula, and I’m completely smitten. The old center is car-free, packed with charming terraces, and along the narrow streets are typical Italian buildings in warm, earthy tones featuring elegant balconies. In Syracuse, it’s easy to lose track of time.
Catania in Sicily may be located on the coast, but it’s Mount Etna that steals the show. From here, you can easily take a trip to Etna, but Catania itself is definitely worth visiting too. The city center is on the UNESCO list for good reason, and the food culture will make you want to stay at least another month.
