      Awesome, thank you! Thank-you for watching our videos! Sicily is really special to us. It still has some of the old world charm we were looking for and can't wait to get back on day for a long stay. 😀 Hope you get the chance to visit. Cheers Chris and Jim😀

    I love that he got it right the first time calling it an arancino, then went back and corrected himself, incorrectly, calling it arancini. Fantastic.

    Love the look of Catania! We travel full time (also Canadians) and I'm starting to look at Sicily as a destination. Not sure what area would suit us, so the research begins lol. We've subscribed so that we can follow along on your adventures. Cheers :)

    Sicily is on my bucket list for Italy. Catania looks interesting, where else did you see in Sicily?

    Hello Chris and Jim, it's Silvio from Catania. Casually I grabbed your video and as Catania citizen you made me flattered, so I want to thank you for your footage and for have shoutted out my city wich live inside my heart.
    Secondary, sadly, in another hand you have disappointed me.... You mustn't eat chocolate cannolo without before have tasted that with ricotta! Only that is the original 😄😄.
    Anyway, kidding aside, I suggest you to taste even granita with brioche (realle is this one the traditional sicilian breakfast, mostly in summer season).
    You're very nice couple. I wish you unforgettable vacation and all the best!

    • @midlifetravelbug

      Thank you so much for your lovely comments… we actually tried both, but that one was the one we filmed! Thank you for watching 🙏 cheers Chris and Jim

    I've never been to Sicily before. Italy is high on the list of places. Catania looks pretty nice!

    The bus from the airport is only €4 per person and takes 15 mins to get to the centre. Definitely an option to consider

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  4 місяці тому

      Good to know for sure! Would definitely do this next time! Thanks so much for the information! Cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim 😊

  • @JefitoBazanella

    €30 is standard set price from the airport. He only raised it by five which is common if you don’t know the price ahead of time

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  7 місяців тому

      Ok thanks, we weren’t sure. It’s pretty steep though compared to the rest of Sicily while we were there. We loved our visit! Everyone was amazing 🫶 cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim!

      Hello, no we were there mid November. We are a bit behind on our editing. But it was amazing in mid November until December when we left. Thank you for watching, Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jim

    Thank you for mentioning the price of the taxi, we wont be surprised if we do end up getting a taxi.

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching! Yes it’s always good to know what to expect. The people were very friendly and it’s a very historical city 💕

  • @joehowarth8093
    @joehowarth8093 9 місяців тому

    Up charge on the taxi more than likely was because of the time…at night it cost more..but you’re on vacation….

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  9 місяців тому

      This is possible, but 35 Euros is pretty spendy when we paid considerably less everywhere else for much longer rides. Yes we are on vacation but still hope to pay a fair price. But we loved Sicily and luckily this was the only time we felt we overpaid. 😊

    Never, ever get a taxi from the airport in Sicily or Italy. I wouldn’t get a taxi from any airport in the world.

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  4 місяці тому +1

      lol… we learned the hard way for sure. But it was late and it was a new country for us. It’s such a shame this is the way, but people get greedy. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏

    Glad you didn’t show the stereotypical Hollywood view of Sicily, where everyone is a mafioso and dirt poor. Ignorance is not a bliss. Thank you! ❤

    Uber doesn’t exist in Sicily, taxis won’t allow the competition. Work is scarce enough in Sicily. I don’t believe Ubers exist even in Italy but I’m not sure.

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  4 місяці тому +1

      It was rare we needed them since we rented a car, but yes they were is Catania. They were way cheaper than the taxi. But seemed to be rare.. loved the island though 💓🥂 Cheers Chris and Jim

      Our video is not wrong, because we loved it! It was our first time there and we were treated very well, other than the taxi driver lol.. What don’t like about Catania?
