Yes, Piazza Amerina roman villa is amazing and you will never see finer or more extensive roman mosaic floors. As an alternative to Ragusa there is also Noto - like an opera stage-set of Italian baroque architecture.

@janverbanck Жыл бұрын

Sicily and Sardinia are very different. Look closer and even the cultural differences emerge. Two pieces of advice: don't spend too much time in Catania (2 to 3 says will do) and don't ever mention the Mafia or engage in so-called " Mafia or Godfather tours". In my opinion (and theirs...) quite unrespectful towards the Sicilians.

@petera618 11 ай бұрын

Poor relation to Sardinia, I don't think so. Economically speaking, they are probably at the same level. Historically and monumentally, I believe Sicily is richer given its history of many conquests and colonizations. Greek acropolis, temples, incredible examples of Byzantine style cathedrals, a wealth of palaces, castles and not to mention its gorgeous baroque towns and its natural beauty. Don't get me wrong, Sardinia is a gorgeous island with a beautiful culture and people. I will say that Sardinian beaches are one up on Sicily's, generally.

Nice video! What kind of drone do you have and where do you usually take off in these locations (i.e. historical sites and crowded touristy areas, volcanoes lol, etc.)? I always have a difficult time finding a good place because I don’t want to bother too many people. My mavic 3 classic is quite loud until it’s high enough where people can no longer hear it. Just curious how others operate their drones when traveling. Thanks!

@gogibgo6148 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I have a DJI Air 2S. I usually take off from a place where there aren’t many people and fly to the areas I want to film. I also fly high enough where the sound isn’t really audible. Honestly some people are going to be a bit upset at flying the drone, but as long as you’re being respectful, just do it. Get that footage you want so you can look at it for the rest of your life.

Syracuse deserves more than 1-2 days to be honest, amazing place! You didnt even mention the beautiful market in Ortyigia, a real treat. Taormina is nice, but too many people everywhere. By the way, the highest volcano in Europe is Mt. Elbrus in Russia, then Teide in Tenerife, Canary Islands. It is 3.718M, Etna is 3rd. Despite that, great video! Sicily is super cool, I just did a three week road trip around. The one thing I hated was the drivers, way to agresive and dangerous.

@gogibgo6148 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Definitely drive. For a lot of the places in this video and beyond, you just can’t get to them easily w/o a car. And as a heads up, I’m an American and they asked me for an international drivers license when I tried to rent, which I didn’t have, but I had to convince them to let me rent anyways and had to pay more. Maybe a scam, but something to be aware of.

@gogibgo6148 Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! A lot of companies try to get extra from you and I’m not an expert, but I’d probably just opt for the place that has a slightly higher price per day, but a higher rating as well. The cheap and bad ones may end up costing you more in the long run and come up with hassles you don’t want.

It wasn’t easy to find parking. The only time I didn’t pay, I unknowingly parked in a residential area and got my car towed. So unless you’re 100% sure you can park somewhere for free, it’s easier to just pay.

The Moors conquered Sicily and changed the ethnic make up of the island forever. The Sicilians know their history well, and Anglo Protestant America certainly treated them differently. Other than that, it's a great place.

@Ektor-yj4pu 9 ай бұрын

@MegaAli213 Sicily had been colonized by northern africans and phoenicians thousands years before: the medieval muslim military occupation wasn't a mass migration and after a century of norman rule, it ended with an ethnic cleansing by the German Swabian dinasty. In America the Sicilians and other southern Italians weren't well accepted mostly because violent crime (like the very white Irish): once their crime decreased the same did the hate.

Yes! I got towed in Syracuse because parking is incredibly limited for non-residents in Ortigia and I parked in the wrong area. Taormina is really difficult to drive in and find parking as it is very pedestrian friendly and pretty constrained for space. My hotel had parking though. Elsewhere it wasn’t too hard though.

I prefer Sicily because it’s more versatile and diverse. It has beautiful beaches as well, but ancient cities, Greek ruins, a volcano, modern cities, more differing landscapes etc. Sardinia’s beaches are nicer tho.
