Frommer's Shortcut Sicily

by Stephen Brewer

The current growth of tourism to Sicily is so great, and the need for easily-consulted travel information so acute, that guidebooks to Sicily are presently appearing on numerous lists of travel best-sellers. The Shortcut Guide to Sicily will surely be among the most popular sources of recommendations and advice on this uniquely-Italian experience. From the museums, marketplaces and cathedral churches of Palermo to the mountain-side resorts and nightlife of Taormina, from the ancient Greek temples of Agrigento to the Roman-era culture, statues and streets of Siracusa, our Shortcut Guide covers them all in colorful (and intensely practical) prose.

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This pocket-sized book, well, let's say it would fit in a man's pant pocket, as much to my annoyance women have not gained equality yet when it comes to size of pockets, when they have pockets at all. Anyway, my point is that this small book packs a lot of information and is the perfect size for carrying with you. As I read with interest, I learned about the origins, history, geography and the political climate today. Then, the information focuses on each region of Sicily with accompanying illustrations. The star rating system is helpful for prioritizing activities depending on the amount of time at your disposal and your interest level. The final section has useful tips for planning purposes. Overall, nicely done.
