Love a small win

I'd love to go to either. Been to Lake, Garda, Sorrento and Naples (which is an eye opener) and love Italy

Foolish decision. Piango per la Sicilia.

 

[HellsBells]

Holding flights on both, which one for two weeks?

Sardinia. Been to both. Prefer Sardinia. Cracking hiking in the middle bit. Text me if you like.

Oh wise SMB I can confirm Sardinia is absolutely magic. Am in love with the place, the Italian way, the beaches, the twisty mountain roads, the giant crisps instead of bread, the gelato, the hotness in September, the lot.

Sicily is nicer

Should have gone there

I've been to neither. Glad you had a good time.

Having done extensive research on both I'd say you'd be better off going to Sicily.

Start in Palermo and go to Cefalu then head to to Taormina via Messina and fly back from Catania.

Sadly I never got to do any of the above as I couldn't get the time off but there's always next year.

Edit: ffs, hadn't realised it was an old thread.

Sicilian sardines...best of both.

I loved Palermo when I was there like.

And don't forget Syracusa, my favourite place on the island.

The only place I've ever seen people shooting up, in the street (back alley) and all at about 4pm in the afternoon.

Otherwise, decent city. Far from Sicily's best though.

Best thing about it was the road out

I was really disappointed with Syracusa. I think it was because we’ve spent a ton of time in idyllic Tuscan hilltop villages and Syracuse doesn’t really offer much extra. And it’s not as pretty.

I love Sardinia, some of the best food and beaches in Europe I've experienced.

I've heard Taormina's very tacky as well.

 

[HellsBells]

I've heard Taormina's very tacky as well.

We stayed in an Airbnb there so we avoided tacky hotels. Didn’t find it too bad, some decent food and wine. Not as nice as Sardinia though.

Splugen...

It is. It's the tourist (American) hot-spot. Overpriced as a result. It's pretty but much preferred each of the other cities I visited.

Just looking at north Sardinia/south Corsica via ferry. Very interesting.

 

[Chesterladmackem]

Sicily any day.

as above, steer clear
