Naples and Sicily

Naples, Palermo, and Taormina rail and Mediterranean crossing trip

Railbookers runs Naples and Sicily, a 9-day, 8-night independent rail package linking mainland Italy and Sicily. The trip opens with an overnight stay in Naples, then crosses the Mediterranean to Palermo, the Sicilian capital, for two full days. From Palermo, travelers continue by train to Taormina, a resort town on the Sicilian coast, for three nights, before one more night back in Naples. The description names a train only for the Palermo to Taormina leg, so travelers should confirm the Naples to Palermo crossing directly with Railbookers. As an independent rail package, this suits travelers who want hotels and transport arranged for them at a lower price point than a fully escorted tour. Prices start from 1,149 US dollars.
