Sicily is fun, but watch out, there is A LOT of street crime there. I almost got robbed in Palermo, and a crew from a container ship tried to kidnap my friend and I at the docks. The countryside away from the city is really nice and the small shops and restaurants are great. One thing thats a strange attraction about 45 minutes outside Palermo is a museum of preserved corpses, including a little girl. It was all done by some guy like 150 years ago. Pretty creepy, because most of them are just propped up on benches and in chairs with no glass around them or ropes so you can get right up close to them.
