Sicily advice

<< I will get a Michelin atlas, which highlights the
'scenic' stretches of roads. So my travel is a road trip along the
scenic routes between stopping points like a stone circle or a ruin.>>


Dump Michelin, get Touring Club Italia's "Atlante Stradale d'Italia"
Southern Section. You can buy it when you arrive or at any good service
station.

For a guide book, my personal choice would be "The Rough Guide to Sicily".
Less waffle, more useful facts and general info.This recommendation will
probably generate much static from Foder fans et al.

Hope this helps.

I have the DK Eyewitness Guide to Sicily. It has the strengths and
weaknesses of all Eyewitness Guides -- a beautiful keepsake of the
trip, strong on architecture and photo ops, weak on lodging and
restaurants, probably pretty useless for an auto trip.....
