Sicily for 10 days. Need advice.
It's been a few years since traveling in Europe. In the past I always rented a car and traveled independently. I arrive in Palermo Sicily, August 24 and have 10 days of free time. Traveling solo. Don't know much about Sicily. I like seeing ancient sites such as Roman ruins and places with local scenic atmosphere Also I'm single guy in my 30s and like occasional nightlife vibe. I don't want to rent a car. Any advice as to itenary and method of transportation? Bus, rail or book a tour? I'm also interested in seeing Sardinia. Anyone that has itenary including conveniently located hotels, recommended restaurants and transportation options. Thanks.

With only 10 days for Sicily, you will need to be EXTREMELY selective, as it has a wealth of ancient sites, places with local scenic atmosphere, etc. A good guide book or two should prove very helpful; I recommend the Rough Guide, although I suspect the Lonely Planet would also be a good choice.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
