must have a pool???? don't they have any pools in germany? you gonna go all the way to sicily to get in a pool???
get a copy of FODOR's either italy or sicily. i forgot which. do a circle of the island, and visit the Greek sites. i recall the claims of more greek temples in sicily than in athens. watch the speed limits. follow their food and housing recommendations. park the car and take cabs in palermo. skip mt etna.
