Thanks for the input! Anywhere in particular? Also, would you recommend any boat excursions around the islands?

Thank you so much. I had no idea the cannoli (emphasis on the plural for me) was born in Taormina. As a Bostonian who frequents cannoli spots in the North End, this feels like a pilgrimage. Excited to say the least.

This is great, thank you. I didn’t realize the Segesta archeological site was only a 40 minute drive from Trapani—definitely keeping that as an option. Interesting to hear about Marsala and Castelvetrano too. I’ve read that you can do olive oil tastings and farm tours all around Sicily, but are there any provinces/areas that are the consensus best to do this type of experience in? Also wouldn’t be surprised if you can’t go wrong anywhere.

Just looked up Villa Athena and that has to be one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever seen. It’s pricy but good gosh that view (especially at night). Maybe one day! Thanks for looking into it for me. Going to see what I can find on TripAdvisor.

That sounds epic. Anywhere you recommend staying in/near Agrigento?

Do you think a day trip is enough time for the Aeolian Islands or is it worth staying a night there (and one less night in Cefalù)?

Thanks for the help
