Sicily Insider Tips is written by one person, not a team or a content agency. That person isDaniele Bellia — born and raised in Catania, at the foot of Etna, now living in Germany and back on the island several times a year.

I read everything, and I answer in English, German or Italian — whichever you write in.

Found something wrong?

Please tell me. Opening hours change, prices go up, sites close for restoration, and ferries get cancelled — this site tries hard to state when each thing was last checked, but the island moves faster than any one person can re-verify it. If something here cost you a wasted trip or a wrong turn, that is worth an email, and I would rather fix it than leave it standing.

Corrections that come with a date or a source get applied fastest, but a plain "this was shut when I went in June" is genuinely useful too.

Questions about your trip

I am happy to answer a specific question — which airport suits your route, whether a place is realistic without a car, whether a week is enough for what you want to see. I do not build custom itineraries, and I do not take payment for recommendations.

If you would rather plan it yourself, the interactive map and its trip planner will get you further than an email will.

Working together

Some links on this site are affiliate links, to GetYourGuide and Booking.com, and where that is the case it is stated on the page itself. They cost you nothing extra and they do not decide what gets recommended — nothing has ever been added to this site because a partner paid for it.

I do not publish guest posts, sponsored articles or paid link placements, so those requests will not get a reply. Genuine collaborations with Sicilian businesses and photographers are a different matter and are welcome.

Postal address and legal details

The full legal information required under German law — postal address, phone number and responsible party — is on the Imprint page. How this site handles data is set out in the Privacy Policy.
