Your journey to Sicily can start anyway you want! A flight from another Italian or European airport, a car journey through the “Autostrada del Sole” connecting Milano to the south, a ferry passage from Genoa, Naples, Rome (Civitavecchia)….

But a very different way to get to the island of Sicily is to take the overnight train from Rome “Intercity Notte” where you can have the experience of a life time! (And then, perhaps, try to get some sleep too…!) 

Yes, the train actually goes in the ferry during the 30 minute crossing of the Messina strait…
