I spent a week discovering Sicily, and it turned out to be one of my favorite summer trips
I based myself in Palermo (Photos 1-5) for the first three nights, which gave me enough time to soak up the city’s incredible architecture, lively streets and amazing food. One day I headed to San Vito Lo Capo (Photos 6-8) on a boat trip, swimming in crystal-clear turquoise water, and another day I visited the beautiful seaside town of Cefalù (Photos 9-13), where I wandered through the old streets before relaxing by the beach, which ended up being my favorite place.
From there, I travelled across the island to Taormina (Photos 14-16), spending a night in what is probably Sicily’s most picturesque town. Walking through its streets and taking in the breathtaking views of the coastline was unforgettable. I finished the trip with two nights in Catania (Photos 17-18), a city full of character and the perfect place to end the journey before heading home.
In just one week I got to experience a little bit of Sicily has to offer, although If I had to do it again I’d focus on just one side of the island as I felt it was a little rushed to see everything.
