[quote=Anonymous]Not a dump. I'm the one you cited from the other thread. We decided to visit Sicily because the weather was good for our spring break and we had friends who went and recommended it. I didn't know much about it but found good fares in and out of Catania so we went for it. I didn't much care for Catania so no need to stay there - you could just head straight to Taormina, which is very charming and also a good jumping off point for Mt. Etna.

Sicily is definitely rough around the edges and not as clean or as organized as other parts of Italy or Europe but we didn't see anything in sicily as dirty and chaotic as Naples and we never felt unsafe.

We found food and lodging to be more affordable than the rest of Italy and the people to be very warm and friendly.

We loved two of our hotels - Foresteria Baglio Della Luna in Agrigento and Charme Hotel Henry's House in Syracuse. Both are distinctive and amazing, with remarkable views and atmosphere.

The interior of Sicily is beautiful and was very green and lush in spring.

All that said, you will get around easier and faster with a rental car but you must be a confident driver, have GPS, and get the rental insurance. Trust me on this!![/quote]
