Some cool tips you should know about Sicily
01.
Hire a car to go around Sicily
The best way to see most of Sicily and to enjoy every part of it is to hire a car, public transportation is not the best option in this island
02.
Share your portion of food in the restaurants
The size of the plates in the restaurants are huge, so to don't waste food and to get to taste more dishes just share one portion between two people, you will learn this in your first days of your trip
03.
Try to taste the best Authentic Sicilian food
Arancini, Sicilian Cannoli (I had one every day while we were there), Granita and brioche for breakfast, pasta alla norma or with sardines and much much more
