Vanlife couple Courts and Meeks, drive their self-built campervan across the width of Sicily to experience everything vanlife Italy has to offer. They drive up narrow, winding mountain road with crazy and impulsive Italian drivers coming towards them before they reach one of the best parkups on the whole island. Panermanic views from their van windows show Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano to the right and sweeping sea scapes to the left. They end the weekend hiking 300 stairs from Castelmola to Taormina, where they encounter a snake and hundreds of geckos, before indulging in local ground coffee and authentic pizza.

You guys are brave seeing the way locals drive is the main reason I don't hire or take a vehicle abroad, the scenery is spectacular and the best lemon's come from Sicily.
Courts you should be very wary of the snakes on the island as there are four species two of which are venomous (I googled when you said) Viper aspis looking at the picture similar to our Adder venous Green whip snake also venomous (strange Google says it is the only venomous snake on the island yet they say viper aspis is venomous) Aesculapian snake and European ratsnake they don't say if these two are venomous.
Looking forward to seeing your next video
Stay safe and watch where you put your feet or sit
What a view indeed!!!! Now you see how italians are driving lol
Always enjoy your travels.
Use the side door for the tolls. Dead easy to operate them from there π
I have a Sprinter camper van and travel alone. It took me some time to realise that the side door was the easiest option…
Love the show guy's π

Jawdropping… and my muscles were aching just looking at all those ups and downs!!! Those pizzas though…YAM xx
When I was in Italy (longer ago than I like to even think about), the tour guide told our group that when you rent a vehicle the vendor will give the remtor a card with instructions on what to do when you have an accident. It was a given that a crash WOULD occur.
So glad I was not driving, especially through Rome.
On the way up that windy road you past the same guy twice … π€£π
Great view of Etna and that view !
I liked sicily when i went, but the rubbish everywhere made me despair.

I love you guys what a beautiful country happy travels
Sicily is lovely. I've been to Taormina twice. First time we climbed to the top of Mount Etna. Second time was at a wedding in Savoca where the wedding scene in the Godfather film was filmed x
Settling in to watch this baby, only 16 seconds in and Meeks has me hooked!
Great video guys, definitely feel you when it comes to toll booths, I always end up having to undo the seat belt and lean right out the window to make it work π those narrow corners had our butt clenching a few times, but gorgeous views π
A snake called Fluffy…..πππ
I want a pizza now too πππ
Loved this, hope the pizza was as nice as it looked. Have fun guys. X
Hope you're ok! We just heard about severe weather and mud streams on Sicily. I can only my hope you had left before these things happened.
Catching up as weβve hacked into European WiFi as we are near a Greek island π, great Vlog as usual guys!
