Recommendations for flights, hotels, attractions, routes and more…

A week on the east coast of the island of Sicily – the basis for the trip plan I built for my husband and me, and it was very successful. 

Here it’s just the plan, each place has its own recommendation page.

Day 1: Landing in Catania, a car was waiting for us at the airport. A 15-minute drive to the center of Catania to the most central hotel (in a centuries-old building), settling in and setting off on a walking tour of the city.

Day 2 Food tour in Catania, drive to Taormina. Overnight in Taormina.

Day 3 Taormina, short drive to Castellammare del Golfo, drive to Isola Bella beach. At night, cocktails on the roof of a ballroom.

Day 4: Trip to Mount Etna, opera at night and dessert at a local nightclub.

Day 5 Departure from Taormina to the village of Savoca (the Godfather) and from there travel south to the island of Ortigia.

Day 6: Cruise around the island and visit the stunning city, lunch at an excellent restaurant and dinner at a fish street food stall.

Day 7: Trip to Catania, city tour, shopping (this is the best deal)

Day 8 Catania, flight back to Israel.
