- Just what you expect
I've just returned from 5 days in Sicily, where I visited Erice, Agrigento and Palermo and some other parts of the west coast.

For these areas, I found the book very useful and informative, in particular the Palermo section. As usual it was set out well and was easily to use. I imagine the other sections are just as useful.

The only thing it didn't mention was that while it might be the best beach in Sicily, the rocks behind are yielded some of our major break throughs in understanding climate change!

I would reccomend this book and prefer the layout to the rough guides I have used for other places in the past

In the past, I've stuck to the Rough Guides, but now I've been converted to Lonely Planet.

More specifically a search for one of their highly recommended restaurants in Palermo led us on a wild goose chase into a very dubious district and the town maps they supply were almost useless in most cases, being poorly anotated and featuring very few street names.

During the two weeks we met other people who had been warned away from the Lonely Planet guide and been recommended the Rough Guide edition instead. I recommend you take their ... Read More:
