    This is about my home town :-) Thank you for showing how beautiful it is. I am not an expert about the history of my town but I think the information is pretty accurate, and yes, summer is not the only time of the year when you can come and enjoy the town. I loved the video

  • @cruisingwithcaptaincliff

    Thanks for sharing. It reminds me when my rental car got stuck there in 2010 and paid 350 Euro to get back to the Sigonella Navy Base. After retiring from US 🇺🇸 Army at age 41 in 2011, I wanted to relax so I started cruising. I just recently completed 9-consecutive cruises bringing my total to 39-cruises with almost 350-sea days.
    Now, I'm planning the extreme opposite to travel cheap and collect Countries to add to my over 30-Countries. Now, living somewhat frugal lifestyle in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and go back to San Antonio, Texas to visit families and friends and renew my auto registration. Stay safe y'all!

    Thanks for a well-done video. Three of us gals are heading to Sicily in September and are in the middle of planning where to go, what to do, etc. We are trying to stay at an Airbnb for a few days in one place and then for 2-3 nights in Palermo before flying home...it's just so hard to know where to stay and yet still be able to do day trips to as many places as possible. We are talking about Cefalu as well as places near and around Taormina. I'm now going to watch the rest of your videos. This was just my first!

    Beautiful scenery. Why do you suppose it remains underrated? Think maybe the (historic?) association with the Mafia has anything to do with it?

    • @KeepGoingPlaces
      @KeepGoingPlaces  Před 2 lety +3

      I’m not sure, but I think it’s because other Italian destinations have better destination marketing campaigns and dollars to drive visitors. It seems like everyone has to go to Rome, Venice, Florence, Amalfi Coast, Milan, Dolomites, Lake Como, etc. Visiting those places will take 2-3 trips, which is hard for a lot of people since most want to visit new countries every year. So, people go to Italy the first 2-3 trips and never end up in Sicily. So, I think it’s mainly a lack of marketing investment over the other destinations, which results in tourists also not prioritizing it over the others with their limited resources.

    • @thetemptedvida8650
      @thetemptedvida8650 Před 2 lety +1

      If the people are smart enough they shouldn't be worried about the mafia because a tourist stays in a specific place for a very short period of time and the effects of mafia impacts exclusively on the locals. Mafia doesn't work like a gang from the hood.
      Anyway they give you the perfect response: Italy has a lot to offer and the most famous places always overshadow the least famous ones and the tourists always want to visit new countries

    • @sevengreen5494
      @sevengreen5494 Před 10 měsíci

      That's wrong. The Mafia takes a cut out of tourist revenue, and blackmails restaurants and bars into paying it bribes. It also control distribution of commodities like coffee and tobacco. You are affected by it even if you think otherwise. @@thetemptedvida8650
