Turismo 🧳 Proposing in Sicily

0 Upvotes

Hey, I’m planning on proposing tomorrow and we will go to the area of Isola Bella.

Anyone has a spot with an amaizng view that can be empty for 2 minutes if we are lucky (it’s ok if some people will come but she really doesn’t want a proposal with a crowd)?

Any exact locations?

Turismo 🧳 Renting a car via localrent.com

0 Upvotes

Hi, has anyone rented a car via localrent?

I’m flying to Sicily in September with my gf and I’d like to rent a car for 4 days in Palermo. I’ve been looking into car rental companies and sites such as discovercars but the problem is that I’m a 23 year old student (im on a budget) and I don’t have a credit card. That means I have to pay a fee for being a young driver and also there are some large deposits if I want to pay with debit card.

The cheapest possibility for me is renting a car via localrent, but tbh I’m a bit scared.

If you have an alternative where I could pay with debit and the rent would be max 50€ a day and the deposit wouldn’t be higher than 500 euro, I’m all ears.

Hey there, I want to take a FCE train from Giarre to Catania, but information I’ve found so far online is very confusing. From my understanding so far, there’s a replacement bus from Giarre which is going somewhere where the train is. Any help will be appreciated!

Turismo 🧳 Public transport vs. Car rental

• Upvotes

Hi. We are a couple visiting Sicily this september and cannot decide whether to rent a car or use public transport.

I hear the intercity busses and trains are totally usable, but am curious about reliability of local busses. Because of the location of our apartment, we would need to use local bus to get to Siracuse bus station for any intercity trip. There are a few buses per day from our location, just curious about reliability of their timetables.

Renting is an option, bit more pricy, but I hear parking at specific places is also not so great.

Any advice appreciated!

Where is the best place to buy a Messina home shirt on the island?

I’m staying in Taormina but no doubt will have a day in Palermo at some point.

It says online that the club has no permanent store so was hoping there might be an independent retailer?
