Page 80 - The Rough Guide of Sicily

If the thought of negotiating your own way around the island proves too daunting, an

organized tour may be the way to go. While that will cost more than planning your
own trip, you can request accommodation in higher-category hotels that should at least
have some facilities for disabled travellers, and you’ll also have someone on hand
who speaks Italian to help smooth the way. Accessible Italy ( accessibleitaly.com) is
an Italian organization offering tours and advice to foreigners, and though it’s mainly

useful for mainland Italy, you can ask for advice on travelling in Sicily. You can also
contact one of the organizations in your own country dedicated to people with
disabilities. Tourism For All ( tourismforall.org.uk), for example, publishes an
information pack about holidaying in Italy for disabled travellers.
