Getting There by Train 
Most Sicilian find romantic travel from the peninsula to Sicily whit the train especially when you leave from the end of the calabria and the train is loaded onto a barge for a 45 minutes trip across the straits of Messina. Consider that from Rome to Siracusa takes about 10-11 hours on the train. If you think that this is way too slow you will have to think again while you are planning to visit Sicily by train as trains, even along the main lines from Palermo to Siracusa, are notably slow.
