Sicily Train travel and information

Sicily Train travel and information

I've got 4 full days to do Sicily. There is a breif stop with family in Palermo after that I'm trying to figure out whether to do Agrigento or Siracuse. I was also thinking of doing Siracuse first then Agrigento then Palermo, but's kind of tight.
We're relying on rail all the way. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone as to which city and what you found to be the best. Thanks


Ah! Finally someone's going to beautiful Sicily.
Agrigento is a must. Also Taormina, which you could do together with Siracusa. Try a trip up Mt. Etna from Taormina. At Palermo you must go to Monreale to see the Cathedral. 4 days is not much and the trains are VERY slow (mostly single track), but you should be able to do it all. 



Does it have to be by train? In Sicily, buses are often faster and more frequent.

To get from Agrigento to Siracusa by bus, you have to go through Catania (as you also have to by train):
