Wow... You are clearly not meant to be travelling because you just don't have a travellers and explorers mindset.. Did you read even a few pages of a guidebook to try and understand Sicily? Taken a walking tour... Tried some food that represents the history of the place.. Really feel sorry for you guys as you missed out on a lot!!
Just came back from a trip to Sicily last week. Sorry to say that there is some truth in this video. Other youtubers are waaay to compleasant with Sicily. Yes, there are absolutely beautiful places to see (even in Catania) but there are also let downs here and there, and a whole lot of it. Transportation being probably the biggest issue we encountered with poor (more like awful) reliability of train and bus services. Dirt, trash, graffitis (litterally everywhere), etc, being also a thing. Honorable mention to some over hyped attractions (yes, i’m talking about you, Modican chocolat…). All this to say that around day 6 of 8 in Sicily, we where already fed up with the place and thinking of our next stop.
Why did you come in the first place? Go back to Australia if you don’t like Sicily bae Minute 5:12” There is nothing to do here” then show a paradise spot that in her mind suppose to scare people away from Sicily…wooooow, how scary, paradise on earth, let’s avoid it! So scary! I’ll tell you what, this is a strategy 😂, they wanna keep people away from Sicily so they can book hotel rooms that are all booked the whole summer 😂
I want to thank you both. I’m on Sicily right now. Last week, i’ve visited Trapani and Agrigento, right now i’m in Ragusa. I felt dissapointed toO. Especially since I adore the North and Centre regions of Italy. However, after seeing this video, I realize that the dissapointment is not because of Sicily, but because of my poor preparation. You guys mirrored my attitude perfectly and it makes me sick of myself. So, thanks for the reality check, i’m gonna enjoy myself now!
Just come back from Sicily & complete opposite to this. I fell in love with the place. So much to do and not enough time. Was very clean. Beautiful,friendly, hospitable people. Went in August was very hot but I like the heat. Not sure what else you would expect going those months. There is a lot of empty derelict buildings but it adds to the story of Sicily. Clearly had issues but name a place in the world that hasn’t! I felt safe there, not like here in England. We stayed in Alcamo, which is the opposite side. A vacation is what you make it. 🏖️
I have to think the creators of this video were trolling with the title, just to see how many views it would get. Everyone knows how passionate Italians are about their homeland, culture, etc. Whimsically (and stupidly) crapping all over a place like Sicily, sounds like the complaints of 4th Grade child who'd rather be at Disneyworld. Videos like this are why Westerners are hated in much of Europe.
What a horrible review of a beautiful island! You seem to have sought out every negative aspect rather than appreciate the beauty it offers. Perhaps you should have planned your trip in a season more comparable to your liking. I think the name of your channel is quite the misnomer. In the words of Noel Coward, "why do the wrong people travel, travel, travel while the right people stay at home".
You both sound like you have Aussie accents, saying 29 degrees is too hot is a laugh coming from Aussies who live in one of the hottest summer countries in the world! You both sound foolish and HIGHLY ignorant with your assessment. You have no idea you are travelling through antiquity and history, if you want gloss and new, stay home..
I think nothing to see and do is code words for we don't know how to entertain ourselves, maybe next time take your parents to babysit you and explain the thousands of years history that makes up Sicily.
I absolutely love Sicily! The people, the beaches, the food...I lived here for a year back in my 20s. I'm actually coming back in a few weeks with my family ❤
Just got back from Sicily. A week was certainly enough. Food was nothing special and the people drop litter everywhere. I went on a Coach trip to Etnaland which was amazing and definitely worth it if you have kids and the volcano itself is very impressive but the sicillians on the coach were just throwing thier litter out of the windows and the bus door when we stopped for fuel. It could be such a nice place but a large proportion of the population need to learn how to respect thier own country. Overall it looks like a once beautiful woman abused and beaten by her own children. The beaches are too busy and many of them are private, again they could be beautiful but any of the natural beauty is painted over by the horrific amount of sunbeds and litter. Much, much nicer places in the Mediterranean. Croatia, Corfu and Turkey were my last trips and they were far and away better places to visit. The drought has also effected the landscape.
She is not satisfied due to bad plannjng/preparation. Wrong cities, wrong month (too hot). Sicily is known for its cultural heritage. She is not jnterested at all How stupid can you be. Let her and her boyfriend just go to Ibiza, or Mallorca. More her level😊
Sicily is full of rich history beautiful towns and amazing beaches, i guess you don't apricaite those things.... sorry for you'r lack of interest of history and diversity that Sicily has to offer.
I spent 8 years in Sicily. I was in the Air Force. I loved it, learned the language, met many wonderful people and made many friends. The food is great. I would have stayed longer but the Air Force installation closed. There was much to do and much to see.
This is the worst footage of Sicily I have ever seen…. Sicily is the jewel of the Mediterranean and you know nothing about it…. Omg horrible these cities have rubbish because the trash men Go on strike and this is what happens - silly people
Its a pity you have 116 subs it should be less. You walked around with thousands of years of history and did nothing to highlight. You complained about everything including the busker and tge fact that your accomodation was so old. Are their issues in Sicily? Yes. However you may want to adjust your attitude and be more balanced in your criticisms. I can only guess but i would put Vegas odds you guys are from Melbourne ot Sydney
