Sicily and Rome: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in shape to walk on this trip?
Yes you'll be comfortable walking on cobblestone streets rolling your luggage and be able to walk up steep steps with your luggage.
But...when we're shooting, we don't move fast. The scenery is stunning and we'll stop often to drink it all in.
Do I have to drink wine? I don't drink.
No, you don't have to drink wine but it will be present at almost every meal. Many people drink wine or beer with lunch in Sicily and Italy.
I'm a vegetarian, will I be able to eat well in Italy?
Italians are meat lovers so the menus are slanted towards carnivores but you can find many dishes of fresh pasta without meat and of course the best gelato on earth and vegetarian pizza.
This won't be a light eating trip.
Because Italians make the best food in the world, and they teach us how to eat with robust gusto!
Where will we stay?
In Palermo, we'll stay in the historic center. If you want to book a place in the center I will advise you on lodging when we speak. Or go ahead and book if you like now.
In Rome, I will suggest places for you to stay. And different ways to book accommodation. I'm staying in the Trastevere neighborhood, culturally colorful and full of yummy food.

Where will we go?
Palermo, a historically rich city with stunning food and swoon-worthy architecture. And Cefalu, a hidden seaside gem. Or ravishing Rome. You can opt to go to one or more with me.
We'll take a train to the stunning town of Cefalu from Palermo
and you can rest and relax here before continuing on or flying home from Palermo.
Tip: If you're coming to Rome, FCO has the most options for ground transit. Taxi, train, bus. I recommend a taxi from FCO into Rome, or if you're traveling light, you can easily take the Leonardo Express Train from the airport, that's what I do.
If you're flying to Sicily, go to the Palermo International Airport PMO and take a taxi to Palermo. We'll take a train to Cefalu a few days later for the 2nd part of the workshop.
