Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an autonomous region of Italy.

People in Sicily are passionate and friendly. Really friendly! They can invite you on a cafè or they may want to touch your private body parts. There are not many highways in Sicily and waiting time on the road is between 10 minutes and 2 hours. Sicily is small and there aren't many highways, so it is easy to find a spot for hitchhiking.

Hitchhiking In

It is possible to hitchhike onto the island (it means you don't need to buy a ferry ticket), if you hitchhike somewhere before Villa San Giovanni (Artti was 200km away) with a sign Sicily. But don't worry if you have to buy a ferry ticket, for one footpassenger it's 1.50 euro.

Cities

Public Transport

It is possible to take buses without a ticket and have long rides out of the city.

Ferry

From Sicily you can take a Ferry to reach Tunesia or Malta.
