.Walking in Sicily: Short and Long-distance Walks (Cicerone Guide)

by: Gillian Price

April 12, 2006
i have only done a couple of the suggested walks and the detail is extraordinary. Also, the hints of how to arrive at the starting point helped me alot. and the fact that some of the walks are exactly what a outdoors enthusiast is after...namely the lesser known walks.

.Sicily (Lonely Planet Regional Guides)

by: Paula Hardy

May 01, 2005
I've just returned from 5 days in Sicily, where I visited Erice, Agrigento and Palermo and some other parts of the west coast.

For these areas, I found the book very useful and informative, in particular the Palermo section. As usual it was set out well and was easily to use. I imagine the other sections are just as useful.

The only thing it didn't mention was that while it might be the best beach in Sicily, the rocks behind are yielded some of our major break throughs in understanding climate change!

I would reccomend this book and prefer the layout to the rough guides I have used for other places in the past

.Sicily Insight Regional Guide (Insight Regional Guides)

from: APA Publications Pte Ltd,Singapore

May 16, 2006
I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this guide. It is easy to understand describing each town/region and giving suggestions of what to see. For both sun lover and culture seeker it is an essential piece of "holiday reading", giving detailed information, whilst being small and easy to carry with you. The island comes to life with the descriptions allowing the reader to get a "feel" for the island. I haven't yet been to Sicily but feel I know it well. When I do visit in the summer I know that I shall feel I know the island and the people intimately.

.Blue Guide Sicily (Blue Guides)

by: Ellen Grady

June 23, 2006
This is the first time I have used Blue Guide Sicily. Being a local myself, I have always been quite pedantic and fussy about how detailed and accurate information on Sicily has been researched and presented. I can only say that this is a fantastic guide, very detailed in the historical and artistic descriptions and also very "poetic" in the "quasi-visual" descriptions of the places and of the Sicilian people. The guide gives accurate listings of hotels and places to eat and drink which are reasonably up-to-date and - thank God - not very "faddy". This is maybe a bit of a turnoff for the younger crowd looking for the "hottest spots". But if you are looking for well-established restaurants, bars and hotels with charm and history, this is the ... Read More:

.Sicily (Lonely Planet Country and Regional Guides)

by: Vesna Maric

May 01, 2008
The book is very helpful and full of useful travel titbits when travelling round Sicily, pointing out interesting features of each of the main regions and recommended places to visit. The walking tour in Palermo was excellent, and the beaches highlighted were exceptional. The restaurant recommendations were fantastic, though the great hotel we stayed in was not mentioned in the guide, despite there only being a few hotels in the town itself.

You will need, however, to supplement the book with a language guide if you do not speak Italian, as it contains only the most basic phrases, and it would be helpful to expand on these when required. Furthermore, a more detailed map or sat-nav should be used to travel around, rather than relying ... Read More:

.Sicily (Eyewitness Travel Guide)

from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2007
Sketchy and hastily put together. Despite having been updated several times, this guidebook still gets the orientation of Corso Vittorio Emmanuele in Palermo wrong. It does not run north to south. This is based on an Italian publication so there's really no excuse. It also doesn't tell you how to get from the airport to Palermo. The photos are ok though.
