I am going to Sicily for 6days. starting out and based in Catania. What are the must-do's? I leave tomorrow!
Answers:
Like all the answers before go up Etna. there is either a cable car or a bus that takes you up there. Or if you are really adventurous you could walk but that can take 3-4 hours up and 3-4 hours down. If you are allowed to try to get as close to the main crater its truly fascinating.
when buying fruit and veg go to the little market type shops and not the supermarkets its loads better.
As for eating out, I don't know what your Italian is like, try to eat in the local restaurants. The house wine, they sell it by 1/2 litre or litre is very good especially the red.
If you are buying red wine look out for Corvo (the crow) it is reasonable and very nice.
If you are driving take great care, one of the most hectic and sometimes dangerous driving styles i have ever seen, and watch out for scooters.
go and see mt Etna plus the whole island is beautiful
Have been 3 times, DON'T wander the back street's alone/after dark - you will be mugged at knife point, I kid you not.
