We are planning an 18 day road trip in Sicily mid May 2023. Will take ferry from Genoa or Napoli. We are going for the history and scenery not for the beaches. We have been advised that the roads are not good, narrow with plenty of potholes, tight bends and locals with questionable driving habits. Theft from cars is a problem and minor damage is to be expected. Sounds terrible but nevertheless we are going. My quandary is do I take the +4 which narrower, shorter and a convertible (security) or the wife’s Mercedes SLC which wider, longer (narrow roads/hairpins), hard top and more comfortable. Has anybody driven a +4 there and had no problems regarding the negative advised concerns raised. Your constructive comments would be appreciated.
