It has been a rainy Spring/Summer season in Europe! Have you ever gone to a place known to be sunny just to be rained on the whole time? 😂

I am currently in Sicily, staying in Syracuse. I have driven to Catania, Argentina and Palermo. The people here are really great, hardworking, courteous and friendly. Yes, the place is really ran down, not very clean on the streets but if you can appreciate antiquity and charm mixed together, you will appreciate this place. I am having a good time here. Currently as I write this, It is around 9:30am. I am sitting outside a pastry shop in the tourist area of Syracuse, having a Cafe. There are people going to work, headed to church for 10am Mass and enjoying what Syracuse has to offer. Overall, I love this place and the people here. I could write more but honestly, you should just come here. If anyone has any questions, I would be glad to answer them if I can. Ciao Ciao

Catania and Taormina perfectly capture the essence of Sicily. Catania offers vibrant city life with rich history and stunning baroque architecture, while Taormina enchants with its breathtaking views, ancient theater, and coastal beauty. Together, they showcase the best of Sicily's charm. Any season is good for a visit!

[historicallyspeakingwithgi]

My father is from Alcamo. I plan to visit Sicily soon. Thank you for showing me where my Dad is from. ❤

[horteen]

Sicily has been on my list of places to visit for a looong time ❤ so beautiful!

[LunnaJannah]

Thank u for showing us respect the government has never cared about us! And we make Italy great 😊

[annieberardino]

I’m so excited. My family is taking a trip to Taormina and catania this April so this video is perfect! Thanks for putting the names of the places you went to. (Especially the ones open on sundays 😊)

[brianc.]

Thank you for showing the reality of your travels. It's nice to see the real city and not just the nice parts.

[gabrielstravels]

Ahh beautiful Sicily. I'm so proud to be half Italian even though I come from a different part of the country (Napoli / Naples)

[tripecac]

Nice job presenting your impressions in an ultimately positive way. And beautiful camera work! Some of those shots are really amazing. I've taken family videos in the same areas of Catania (and Taormina) and am impressed with how you made the same scenes resonate. I'm curious what camera you used. Also, great job on the music. Very soothing!

[vagueconcept]

The flea & fish markets are amazing!

5:45 Dani xD

[aff]

A shame about the weather but it still looked so amazing, and there’s something quite special about enjoying ice cream in the rain! 😊

[LaurenJason]

We've been to Italy twice now haven't visited Sicily yet and now we really want to go! Also, seeing the food makes us want to order some Italian tomorrow haha

[LunnaJannah]

U guys are beautiful… can’t wait for u to explore my beautiful island in the summer 🌺

[shawnaleighwilson]

Thanks for this vid! What time of year were you visiting?

[Anthony-zwqb]

Sorry if I missed this, how do you get around in Sicily ? Is renting a car best? We are coming from the states . Thank you!!

[joaodias]

The weather gave you a warm welcome 🙈 it's sad how a difference of couples miles makes such a difference in terms of restoration, cleaning. But still, it's amazing places to visit ☺️
( that gellato....🤤)

[LunnaJannah]

The second group of kids were dressed traditionally…
Perhaps the first were a part of the theatre?

[keniavibel]

Where was that hike? I dont think you mention that

[jeremyjames]

Almost everything closes from noon till 4, everyday
