I lived in Sicily from 1984 to 1989. I loved it! My best duty station.
Nice! Where were you stationed? Sigonella (Catania)?
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome! 🤗🤗
Once again, great tips!
So glad you're finding our content helpful, thank you very much 🙂🙂
hey ciao,
saro in sicilia a fine mese!!
Ho in mente di prendere una macchina in affitto da trapani e farmi tutta la parte west della sicilia. Faró tappa anche a palermo città ma vorrei lasciare la macchina fuori città in un parcheggio per quei giorni...potresti darmi un consiglio se ci sono parcheggi o zone più tranquille? il parcheggio dell aeroporto potrebbe essere un opzione?
grazie : )
Hola! Non conosco benissimo Palermo ma mi pare il parcheggio Orlando sia buono e giornata intera dovrebbero essere 12 EUR Circa. Anche il parcheggio Piazzale Ungheria e Foro Italico, quiesti tre sono vicini al centro. C'era anche il parking Basile, dove si poteva lasciare l'auto e prendere una navetta per il centro ma informati perché non so se è ancora attiva. Porto e Aeroporto dovrebbero pure essere ok! Forse noi saremo a Palermo a fine mese!!!
Hello, great information, can you recommend a car rental company? I read all kinds of reviews, and I can't decide on one (Catania)
Hi there! Good question, all the big ones (Avis, Sixt, etc. should be fine) Also SicilyByCar is ok as a local company! Just make sure you make video of every damage or issue the car has before taking it just in case! Have a wonderful stay in Sicily!
@@davandj what do you think of Centauro from Catania? they have very good reviews on google and they do not hold a deposit if you choose full insurance, instead they have terrible reviews on tripadvisor
Hi there, I don't have direct knowledge of them, I found 2 comments on the Sicily subreddit from people who rented from them without problems though ! I hope this helps
In four words: “Prepare for a nightmare!” 😂
Saludos from 🇲🇽
Pretty much what you said Güey! 😂😂😂
@@davandj Although I have many years of driving experience in Europe, US & Asia I decided to take some special driving lessons when I moved to Mexico. And hell yeah, those lessons have been exciting! 😂😂😂
It paid off: no accidents myself so far, but saw a couple of bad crashes here 🔥 ☠️
@@Anza_34832 Ouch! Watch out and drive safely and please have some delicious Mexican food for us too! :)
@@davandj Will do! 🌶️🌶️ 😅
I drive in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I give up and won’t be driving there 😅😅😅
I visited LA a few years ago OMG that traffiiiiiiic
The secret? Drive as fast and reckless as possible. Ignore all stop signs and never put down your phone.
Hahaha accurate!
@@davandj Yes. I live in Sicily and drive a motorcycle. 🤣
Woah username Checks out :))
