We enjoyed exploring Sicily. The apartment was full of character. It is above a market. It is therefore bustling with street traders and is lively/ noisy at the front. This is in contrast to the 2nd bedroom at the back – which is very quiet. I felt OK walking there at night in a group but would be cautious on my own. Anna and her family were very helpful in giving us directions and booking a taxi back to the airport. I would recommend a visit to the Teatro Massimo (Opera House) – they have a tour, but also a very nice café.
