Eight Indulgences: December 6

A 3-week Sicilian roadtrip itinerary, hotels in Puglia, a cool luxury hotel in Cyprus, where to stay in Cappadocia, the ultimate celeb-loved Indian wellness hotel, and four other indulgences.

I’m humble sometimes. Just maybe not today. Because this is one of my favorite newsletters to-date. Equal options for luxury and affordable luxury travelers. A lot of Italy, yet Cyprus, Turkey, and India, too. Where to stay for a Swiss stopover. Something for everyone, perhaps? I hope! I think. I like it. I hope you do, too!

1. A 3-week Sicilian (mostly) roadtrip itinerary, version 1

As I believe I’ve mentioned before, Sicily is one part of Italy I’ve yet to explore. I desperately want to. This is an itinerary that’s for me, but would be great for anyone who wants to traverse as much of the island as possible, by car. And then, get on a ferry to a tiny island. That’s what this is. 3 weeks, give or take. Starting in Palermo, ending in Taormina. Traveling clockwise, around (mostly) the coast. 8 hotels, so yes, the pace is fast, especially the first half. There are pauses though, too. The best part about road trips is you can do this without feeling like you need a vacation from the vacation. The way I do it, (and see it) at least. This is a long and detailed itinerary, I warn. Maybe the most so of any itinerary I’ve shared thus far? Next Wednesday, I’ll share a second Sicilian itinerary, but 2 weeks instead of 3. Anyway, andiamo!
