Coisas para fazer em Sicília

This was my first time experiencing a fishing trip, going out to sea with a fishing boat and seeing many different kinds of fish caught in the nets. Being able to cook and eat them right on the boat was a truly magical experience, and we all had a wonderful day. My companions were also very friendly. Although I didn't go into the water, the water here is incredibly clear. I think it would be even more comfortable to go swimming once the weather gets a bit warmer. If you get seasick, you might want to take some motion sickness medication beforehand to help settle your stomach. Even though the waves weren't big, there's always some rocking on a boat. The drinks and food on board were excellent. It was my first time seeing flying fish, which were fascinating even though you can't eat them, and also squid that squirted ink. The prawns were delicious! You can throw the fish bones from your plate into the sea to feed the seagulls and attract other small fish. The schools of fish will gather, allowing you to see many fish with your own eyes. Mr. Giovanni is very professional and friendly, and he's also a great cook. The boat is adorable too, a blue fishing boat named after his daughter. It's very beautiful. If you're looking to go out to sea, choosing him is definitely the right decision!

I was so grateful for our kind guide who explained everything thoroughly and took such good care of us. When I was struggling, they held my hand and walked with me, haha. It was a fun experience! ♥♥

O serviço de busca e entrega foi pontual, o local de encontro fácil de encontrar, e o guia/motorista tinha excelentes habilidades de condução e um vasto conhecimento, tornando as explicações ao longo do caminho animadas e interessantes. O itinerário incluiu uma visita a uma loja de produtos locais (com degustação de mel, vinho tinto e azeite no local), uma caminhada por uma caverna vulcânica (onde é obrigatório usar capacete durante todo o percurso, e o guia forneceu uma lanterna para cada pessoa usar dentro da caverna), e uma caminhada pela trilha até o vulcão. A visita em janeiro coincidiu com a neve fresca no Monte Etna, e a neve em pó cobrindo a trilha, juntamente com o vulcão Etna a fumegar, proporcionou uma paisagem maravilhosa e uma experiência memorável.

it was a wonderful trip up to Mount Etan, thanks to Carmelo. He has been very helpful along the way, without him we will not be able to come back down from the mountain easily and safely. Thank you very much for his service.

Chegamos ao Arco de Adriano às 8h15. Não havia sinalização e ninguém lá. Algumas pessoas sugeriram que fôssemos a pé até a entrada do Templo de Zeus Olímpico, mas parecia que nenhuma delas tinha ideia sobre este passeio, pois é um passeio privado. Então, voltamos ao Arco de Adriano por volta das 8h30, e Alexandra estava lá esperando com outro visitante. Alexandra é arqueóloga e consegue ligar lindamente lendas com a história. As suas explicações foram interessantes, com cronogramas e desenhos claros. Senti como se estivesse a viajar no tempo de volta à Grécia Antiga. O passeio durou cerca de 4,5 horas, mas não estávamos cansados. Desfrutamos da paisagem, do Partenon, e das histórias e da história. Alexandra conseguiu responder a muitas perguntas da minha filha adolescente, que adora mitologia grega. Realmente vale a pena ir com um guia turístico. Sem ela, talvez não soubéssemos o que estávamos a ver. Se estiver a planear visitar a Ágora Antiga para ver o Templo de Hefesto, precisará de comprar outro bilhete.

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and friendly. The scenery after taking the cable car (cable car tickets need to be purchased separately) was spectacular and well worth it. There is still snow on the mountain this season, so please be aware of glare from the snow and the risk of sunburn.
