Convince me that I should go to Sicily
I have traveled with some friends a few times and they have a trip booked for Sicily at the end of September (with a 4 day Malta add on). I like traveling with them but for some reason Sicily just sounds a bit blah to me. I love Italy and actually was supposed to be there right now (Northern Italy) but my trip fell through. At this point my choice is travel with them to Sicily or no fun big trip this year for me. I am not sure I want to burn a ton of miles for a place that I am not that enthusiastic about. It is a tour with a company that we all like.
Sicily looks like a lot of beaches and some ruins that don't seem to compare with places like Rome or Pompeii. Am I reading Sicily wrong? What about Malta?
