19 nights sicily may 2025
Hi. We are flying in and out of Linate. We arrive 11 am on May 2. Will fly Italy air to Palermo and arrive there around 5 pm.
For our 19 nights this is what I have so far. We don't plan to rent a car and have a few private private drivers lined up. I think the rest can be done via buses, trains or ferries.
We are 60 and pretty active but I'd like a bit of relaxation at end as we usually take "trips" and not "vacations" but getting older is requiring a bit slower day.
Palermo (4 nights) First full day will do a Culinary Backstreets tour to get acclimated to Palermo. Half day in Monreale.
Private driver to Agrigento I night- staying in a B&b that is walkable to the Valley of the Temples so we can visit at dusk and will visit museum first
Private driver to Ragusa for 3 nights-will stop at Villa Romana del Casale on way. Will visit Modica one day via bus.
Ortigia (4nights) - maybe a day trip to Catania. Want to do a boat trip here too.
Lipari (5 nights) will visit other islands from here. Staying at Taliaka B&B which is new with great reviews.
2 nights Cefalu and late departure and private driver to Palermo airport.
I prefer to base myself and not move around too much. Are we missing anything? Suggestions? Appreciate it.
