Hi there, I’ve been wanting to explore Sicily for a long time. From an all-inclusive hotel so I don’t have to change accommodation every night, and getting around by rental car. About ten days. Which spot would be best to stay so I can explore without excessive driving? What are the must-see sites, knowing that Mount Etna is already my top pick? What are the key things to know about renting and driving a car (laws, speed limits, requirements in certain cities, parking, etc.)?

Hi there,

For the same reasons as you, I chose to stay in Syracuse (we rented an apartment). First, because it’s really pretty, and second, because it let us easily travel in all directions. To the north: Mount Etna, Catania, Taormina To the south: the Vendicari Nature Reserve and the town of Noto We also spent 3 days in Palermo when we flew into Trapani to visit the capital and spend half a day in Monreale.

We rented a car at Trapani Airport. Italians drive quite aggressively, but if you’re careful, it’s not too complicated. There’s little traffic in rural areas, the road rules are the same as in France, highways are marked with green signs, and national roads with blue ones.
