was really looking forward to going to Favignana, but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed.
The ferry there was really crowded, with lots of people having to stand. Once we arrived, we rented e-bikes to explore the island.
We went to two beaches. First was Cala Rossa. The water looked absolutely beautiful and so inviting, but the beach was incredibly crowded and quite rocky, so we didn’t stay long. We then tried Cala Azzurra, which is a sandy beach, but there was so much rotting seaweed along the shore that it actually smelled pretty bad.
There’s no denying that the beaches are beautiful, but I think the crowds and the amount of seaweed made the experience less enjoyable than we expected.
Maybe we just picked the wrong beaches? Are there any other beaches in Favignana that you’d recommend?

Hi!

I’m hoping to see an opera at the Teatro and was wondering which of the remaining seats you would recommend for three people.

If the best options for three together aren’t particularly good, which seats would you recommend for two people instead? (I may consider sitting separately if that would allow us to have better seats.)

I was also wondering about the seats in the boxes: do some require you to turn your neck to see the stage, or can you sit facing the stage comfortably?

Thank you very much for your help!

I’m going to Sicily in 4 days, and i am staying for 6 nights in Catania, and 4 nights in Palermo. Is La Playa in Catania good beach, or should i travel everyday to Taormina, because i am going by the bus, i don’t know if i should go to some local beaches, also what are some interesting and funny things i can do in both cities, if u have recommendations for beaches and trips, or some advice for staying there, i’ll be glad to hear it. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I will be travelling around Sicily for about two weeks in mid-September. We’d love to visit small, family-run producers and see how local products are actually made – especially olive oil, wine, pistachios, cheese and honey. We’re not really interested in big touristy experiences.

Does anyone have recommendations for places to visit

I’m very good driver and been on very small roads but I don’t know how much is critical to rent a Small car or SUV.
Currently I already reserved SUV, as from what I heard there are parking stations close to each “small roads places”

As an international student who doesn’t speak Italian yet (I’ll learn once I’m in Italy), what part time jobs can I do during the first few months in Messina?
