Hello all
We are planning our trip to Sicily and thinking of flying into Catania, renting a car and driving up to Taormina. I realize there are two parking garages and ZTL’s in the area. I was thinking we would drive over to Etna and the vineyards around it one day and another day drive to Savoca and Forte.
Am I being realistic with these goals or should we just bus up there (from the airport) and use public transportation and/or tour guides for this? We have been to Italy several times but never Sicily and once we rented a car and parked it for several days in Lucca since it was so much easier to take the buses and trains
After Taormina, we go to Agrigento, Ragusa and Ortigia before we finish in Catania for a few days. I realize we could even go to Mt Etna from Catania if the weather doesn’t permit while we are in Taormina and I also know we need a car for the Agrigento and Ragusa segment. I was thinking of ditching the car before we go to Ortigia and then to Catania.
We could even backtrack to Catania airport after Ragusa, then train back to Ortigia then Catania.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.
