Beautiful coastline from messina north with Many beautiful locations to visit. Tindari and malazzo are excellent Some streets are narrow so a smaller car is best if you aren’t confident when driving.

we were in the small towns of Avola and Sorento you need a small car for these little towns. If you are not familar with winding twisting roads hire a driver

Overall it was a good idea to rent a car to be able to see different places in Sicily, places impossible to see without a car.
