 Catania-Siracusa |
|
| General: | The traffic in Catania and suburbs is
a matter of habit. When going downtown Catania by bike, it's better
to avoid the rush hour. At the end, you have to be courageous anyway.
Because there are not a lot of road signs, it's quite difficult
to find the way (don't believe in the distance information signs!
They are sometimes quite wrong.). Further it's sometimes difficult
to see, which kind of raod you are riding on. Is it a highway or
maybe a land street? Nobody knows. For information about transportation of the bike, click here. |
