Tips for Altominico Family Park

My mother and I will be taking a trip to Sicily to look into some family history in Bisacquino. We would like to hire a private tour for our 4 days in Sicily, preferably someone that can assist us with our genealogy search. I have done a lot of research on our family in Bisacquino and have been able to fill out a family tree going back several generations. However, we would like to add some color to my research and possibly find relatives or anything relevant to our family history. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Should we hire a car in advance or get a taxi at the airport?

I am looking at this car park and it says 1 hour for 10cents? So you pay 10cents only but it is restricted to 1 hour? Sorry I am not familiar with Italian language so much. I am planning where to park when in Trapani

Hello

Looking for advice. Hard to tell from maps but am trying to figure out where to stay in Giardini Naxos. We are a family of 3 ( 16 yr old daughter) and like to be able to walk to a good variety of restaurants and a (preferably sandy) beach. We don't care for noisy nightlife. So should we be looking at the Recanati area or further north on the bay above the promontory that sticks out? Or is the town small enough that it doesn't matter where we stay? We will have a car but prefer to walk to restaurants in the evenings.

Think we prefer to stay in Giardini rather than Taormina due to cost and parking!

Any tips or advice gratefully received as haven't been to Sicily before. Thanks.

Hi, bit of a long shot but do any locals know if the site is currently open? I have been trying to contact them for a few months but not getting any response which is very unusual for them. Thanks

Hi

I'm starting to plan a trip to Sicily and the Aeolian islands in early September (covid permitting of course) and I'd be grateful for some advice.

We're planning to fly into Catania Airport on an early morning flight from London, then head straight to Milazzo port to catch a ferry to Lipari and then stay as follows:

4 nights Lipari

3 nights Panerea

2 nights Taormina

Just wondering what's the best way to travel when we get to Catania? We need to get from the airport to Milazzo Port and then from Milazzo to Taormina, and finally from Taormina back to Catania airport to catch our mid-morning flight back home. Would we be best to hire a car for the whole duration and pay to park it for a week at Milazzo while we're in the Aeolian islands, or can we do everything easily by bus/public transport? And would we be missing out by not having a car to explore the area around Taormina?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thank you for your advice on my previous post. We have changed our travel plans a little bit and plan to spend 1 full day in Rome before heading down south and would love advice on how to perfect our first time in Rome. We will be arriving at Fiumicino at 5pm on July 28 and will get our rental car at the airport. We will be then driving to Rome and staying at a hotel about a minute away from the Colosseum and plan to leave the car at an overnight car park. Unfortunately, Colosseum will be fully closed on July 29, so we plan to visit on July 30 before leaving, hopefully. Here is what I have planned so far for the day of July 29 (hopefully everything is within a walking distance)

-Starting off our walk from our hotel near the Colosseum to the Piazza Venezia

-Trevi Fountain

-Pantheon, Piazza Navona

-Spanish Steps

-Castel Sant’Angelo

- Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel

-St. Peter’s Basilica

I have a few things we need advice on:

1) What is the best way to get around Rome, should we stick to walking? Should driving around with our rental car be avoided at all costs?

2) Please suggest any restaurants or cafes that you have beloved on Rome trips that we must absolutely visit.

3) Any other tips or places we should include on our itinerary.

We plan to leave Rome in the morning of July 30.

I am a bit lost to what we should do as my parents are not avid walkers but it is very difficult to decide what to do in the limited time we have there. Any advice would be appreciated.

In early October, a group of 12 of us will be arriving in

Florence and we're wondering what the cab, or shuttle cost,

will likely be to go from the airport to the Hotel Pendini.

We will be visiting Sicily end of June, beginning of July. We will be travelling in a rental car. We know Palermo is not a city to travel by car, but we would love to spend a few nights there anyway.

So could anyone give us some advice a place where we could stay and park our car safely during our visit of the city. We would be arriving and leaving from the direction of Cefalu. Thx!

We are (hopefully) arriving on a Tuesday morning (hopefully) after a long day of flying. I doubt we will want to take public transit with so little sleep the prior night. Especially since this is a delayed 40th Anniversary trip and we have been planning on reasonably splurging.

There is a shuttle from the hotel for a surcharge. Before I commit to that I was wondering what would be the cost of a taxi from the airport to the Pantheon?

Thanks
