I am two months away from leaving for my month-long solo trip to Italy. Flights RT to Rome and mid-trip a RT flight to Palermo are booked. All of the lodging is still free cancellation. Cooking classes have been booked. I am planning to reserve the 4-hour ebike tour in Puglia and probably some events for Palermo later this week. I might just book a tour for Monreale to simplify that activity’s transportation - suggestions?
Are there any other activities that you enjoyed in these locations that I should consider?
(I like to change locations often - that’s intentional.). : )
