I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on moderately priced hotels in Palermo, Siracusa and Taormina. Also, any suggestions on restaurants where more locals rather than tourists might eat. Thank you!
Palermo: Hotel Letizia hotelletizia.com
Taormina: Hotel Elios elioshotel.com Restaurant nearby where we ate several times: Ristorante al Giardino
Siracusa (Ortigia): La Corte degli Angeli B&B lacortedegliangeli.com The owner helped us pay for a parking ticket! There is a public parking place, guarded at night, a short walk away.
Thank you very much, Norma. I will look into all 3!
