==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 anywhere before or inside the harbour in [[Villa San Giovanni]] ([[User:Artti|Artti]] was 200km away) with a [[Signs|sign]] ''Sicily''. The tickets for the ferry are paid by vehicles, that means it doesn't change anything 1 or 5 people inside the car (exactly as for the british channel tunnel); so that also standing at the harbour or asking people it's a very easy option to get inside a car and enter for free. In any case don't worry, also on foot, the ferry is free..lots of locals just walk on it every day without any ticket and in case you really want to buy a ticket, it should cost from 1 to 2.40 euro...The same should be for ferries from [[Reggio Calabria]].
===Ferries===Other options includes ferries from [[Roma]] (Civitavecchia), [[Napoli]] or [[Cagliari]]([[Sardinia]]) in [[Italy]] or [[Tunis]] in [[Tunisia]] and [[Malta]]; all of them to/from [[Palermo]], some (Tunis and Cagliari) also to/from [[Trapani]] or [[Porto Empedocle]] (Malta, Lampedusa, Linos).Hitchhiking these ferries it's almost impossible since most of containers are left at the harbour and picked by other trucks at the destination, so there is almost no truck entering. You can try blackriding them, without a ticket, entering sneaking inside a van, caravan or car; be careful and aware that is illegal.
===Flights===Low cost companies fly to [[Palermo]] and [[Catania]].
==Cities==
* [[Enna]]
* [[Palermo]]
==Sleep==
Sleeping in Sicily won't be a problem for a hitchhikers. Further than hospitality is great, warm and widespread, Sicily is probably the region in Europe with the highest number of illegal/incompleted buildings under costructions which can be squatted easily and safely. From freshly started buildings, to old little houses in cities old town, to villas, any kind of building can be abandoned or under construction, confiscated or simply free to access..[[User:Fedecicco|Fede]] found the most rainy and worse 2 weeks in February and March (2014) and never set up his tent, always finding a nice roof to lay down his mat.
==Public Transport==
It is possible to take buses without a ticket and have long rides out in most of the city. ===Ferry===From Sicily you can take a Ferry to reach [[Sardinia]], [[Napoli]]cities, not in [[Roma]], [[Tunesia]] or [[MaltaEnna]].
==Other Useful Info==
Traffic in Sicily is might be crazy, not as crazy as [[Turkey]], [[Iran]], or [[Middle East]] though. [[Palermo]] and [[Napoli]] are actually the most challenging cities for car drivers in Italy..
Hitching in Sicily can be pretty slow. It took [[User:Ecasalicchio|Ecasalicchio]] 24 hours to do about 150km one time. There aren't many service stations on the central autostrada.
