The easiest way to get to Sicily is by flight and
hiring a car is strongly suggested to visit the island.
Airports and Flights
Palermo Airport is the most convenient Sicily airport for budget travellers.
At any time of year, it is usually possible to get charter flights
between Palermo and major european cities:
Ryanair:
daily flights from London Stansted to Palermo
Meridiana:
budget flights from Paris to Palermo
Ryanair offer also a two weekly flight from Dublin to Trapani.
Car Hire - Driving in Sicily
If you are spending more than a week in Sicily and want to see many of the smaller or more remote sights,
hiring a car is by far the best option. Car hire is not cheap in Sicily and it pays to book your rental
via the Internet before you leave home.
Hertz:

Driving in the sicilian cities is challenging and it is better to avoid, if possible, Palermo city centre.
