Sicily is currently one of the directions to which you can get from the Ok\u0119cie airport is cheaper than to the Central Station in Warsaw - despite the distance 283 times longer. Really, we paid 135 PLN for a return ticket, and this only because we were aiming for a convenient date, covering a long weekend. Of course, the cost of transporting a bicycle should be added to this, but I always try to remain silent about it. Add to this the fact that we pay up to PLN 50 per head for the accommodation, the idea to spend the whole week like this seemed pretty good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sleep in a shared apartment with a beautiful name Sweet Dream<\/a>. I highly recommend the facility, because you can feel like a purebred Catania resident - 3rd floor of a tenement house where you can hear conversations 2 floors below, 500 meters from the station, 4 different lock doors to pass, the whole neighborhood is covered with hoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you ask if it's worth it (and I know you are here for this), my answer is: of course it's worth it. Sicily is a great place to die and I invite you to take a look at the best ways: how to lose your life there<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** COVID UPDATE: when we go to Italy, there is currently a record number of infections there: queues for pharmacies, tests and vaccinations stretch to the horizon, where they turn back and then again to the horizon. Italians require a test performed max 24h before landing<\/strong>, and the test says that 48 hours apply - this creates a lot of ambiguity at the airport. We look fascinated as more people are sent away from check-in with a receipt and how further fights grow, to which the airport security is forced to join. It would have made us more amused had it not been for the fact that 2 days later we were immediately asked to leave the train going to Syracuse for carrying unlawful<\/em> masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
