We have been to Sicily three times and find the Rough Guide to be unerringly on target. Its assessments of the priority of things to see and do, its reviews of sights, hotels, restaurants have been the most helpful of the many guides we used. Short on color photos but long on info, the rough guide let us find the beauty quickly to see and taste it for ourselves, and steered us to many interesting places in Palermo, Patti, Milazzo, Messina and Syracuse.
