Going for a week in 3 weeks.. Looking to do some sightseeing, volcano gap lurking, but mainly need a fantastic beach/rock with snorkeling/scuba opportunity. Where do we go?
I think we'll rent a car for the whole week, so we'll be pretty mobile.

rent a car, travel along the coast, taormina was nice and very quiet in the winter, might very busy this time of the year. I liked catania, bit rough, harbor city. I haven't been on the western side of the island
enjoy yourself

ohhhhhh buddy your gonna love it. Where are you staying? My parents are from a town called Pachino at the most southern tip of the island, I go there once every few years. All my family still lives there so I get to enjoy it for free. You have to see Mount Etna, bring a sweater of you're going to the top. Taormina amazing views as well (the city is on a cliff)
Heres just some of my pictures

You'll love it. Bring money to buy some nice ceramics and enjoy the marzipan, sea food, Fuoco di Sicilia, and gelatto. It's a grand palce to visit, and the people are wonderful.

I've got plane tickets to and from Trapani, one gf, a few credit cards.
No idea where to stay, that's why I'm asking you :) We sure plan to rent a car for the whole week.

rafalski, I stayed Sol e Mar. It's AWESOME. Super cheap, right across the bay from Palermo, you can walk right down a path/stairwell through the cliff and dive into the Tyrrhenian, plus they teach you Italian. You get your own little house with kitchen, bath, and terrace (with awning) too. My ex, who's Sicilian, found it. I'll see if I can find it on Google for you.
