Sicily is obsession worthy! I went in 2023 to the east coast and adored it, and felt the need to go back and explore some of the west coast this year. And I want to go again! That neighborhood is extremely walkable to the main sites, which will be wonderful. Scooters make sense to me (I just never want to drive on vacation myself, so I didn’t look into that). If you like architecture/churches, make sure to check out San Cataldo and Martorana, which are right next to each other and very near where you’ll be. And get yourself to Monreale, it is incredible.
My taste buds weren’t at their best while I was there, but I had one very simple but perfect meal at Lo Scrigno di Donna Rosa. I found a great little bustling wine bar but I’m having a hard time finding it now on the map. If I can get the info I will come back with it - I feel like it had a pun-ish name.
