Fantastic clothing and service at this fun shop! The lady working here graciously translated the…read moreshirts from Sicilian to English for us; she also showed us a lot of the different items that they offered. The shirts are very comfortable (I wear my bicycle one a lot), and all of the wares are clearly of high quality. If I needed a bag, I would have definitely purchased one of their leather goods because they seemed very nice and well-made. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Catania!

It brightens my day when I'm wearing it. It's fresh and clean scent can also be combined with other scents without giving me a headache. Outside of parfumerie, this store also has beautiful accessories. I've purchased hats and a scarf here as well. The staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. It's always a pleasure shopping here. If you're in Taormina, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it.

It's hard not to get here, just takes a bit of time if you're coming from Catania (~45 minutes). The shopping center is very clean, they have decent cafes, and some high end stores to keep things interesting. If you're in Sicily for more than a week and need something to do, this plaza is worth seeing.

We were moving from the south to the north coast that day. A nice and easy drive through the heart…read moreof Sicily. Funnily enough, in the middle of almost nowhere there is this Outlet! It was summer and temperatures went way beyond 100°F. Not really any shade on the parking lot, so it doesn't matter where you leave your car...it will be boiling inside (be aware of that fact when it comes to leaving kids, pets ... or even freshly bought food in the car). The Outlet itself has a beautiful setting. It really IS a village itself with countless lovely built stores in all colors. There's also a good number of restaurants for every budget as well as bathrooms. Some stores offers really good discounts, some on the other hand....not. So you really depend on two things: Luck and time. You either bring enough time to check out the offers or you just hope the best and get lucky. We thought the "Guess" and the "MK" store really did have good offers the time we visited. Be sure to listen to the announcements over the speaker. On very short notice (minutes before) they will announce several times a day which store is up for an extra discount for the next 20-30 minutes. And then...run! Luckily we were just standing in front of the MK store when it got announced (20% extra off on handbags). People really will come running....and fight for the items. We got lucky.... So, it's a really cool place to grab some good stuff. Bring enough time (and money) to enjoy it fully. There are also several companies selling daytrips from many major towns in Sicily. Another good thing: Dogs are welcome here (just not IN the stores) and there's enough shade for your furry friend.

Decathlon, for Americans, is like Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. Although, it's way…read morebetter than either of those two stores combined. You can find anything and everything you need sporting good wise from camping goods to sneakers to exercise equipment to water toys. I have found some of the best backpacks, water shoes, and flip flops here. Decathlon will have you covered with top quality goods at a cheaper price than most sporting good stores stateside.

I enjoy Decathlon in Germany and was interested to check out Decathlon in Sicily. I was in the…read moremarket for a new backpack, and I have always enjoyed the range of prices with Decathlon. You can absolutely go cheap and go with the Quechua brand (cheap, but good quality) or you can spend more for the name brands like Nike, Puma, or Adidas. I personally enjoy the Quechua, Domyos (clothing), or Kalenji (running) brands and feel they are equal to Nike/Under Armour/Adidas. The Catania Decathlon didn't let me down, and I was able to pick up a new backpack and sunglasses, with only 29 Euros of damage done. I thought the sailing section was a nice touch, as there aren't many places to go sailing in Germany (at least not where I live). Great store, great experience as always.

Clothes, snacks, electronics, furniture, shoes, lingerie, home decor, gifts, houswares and outdoor sports gear. I love the gourmet food and wine section. Wine tastings here daily inlcuding proveyers of the local olive oil which I sampled and immediately bought a bottle. Lots of great gifts from the local artisans, beautiful pottery and a huge selection of wines including a signature Sigonella labeled red wine! Sicily is covered in orange groves, olive groves, pistachio trees and of course vineyards! So you will see lots of pistachio included in pasta sauce and a creamy sweet butter that's beautifully packaged in jars. Don't forget the yummy chocolate too which is very well known and made in a nearby town. A nice size book section provides Fodor tour guide books of Sicily/Italy and other countries and some language books too to help you learn some basic Italian. I come here all the time to pick up some wine, sweets, something for the kids or just a lipstick! Closed Mondays. Must have valid military ID to make purchases.
