Question for Italian experts
Please tell me how best to allocate time. There are 2 options: Palermo 3 nights, Bari 4 nights and Palermo 5 nights, Bari 2 nights. The second option is that there will actually be only one full day in Bari. Will it be enough to see the city? The breakdown is only this, because air connection. Which city will take more days? Before Palermo we will spend 9 nights in Catania.

1 full day is enough for Bari. The rest is in Palermo and the surrounding area. In Bari, I would advise you to visit the Basilica of St. Nicholas, and relics (this is a certain day of the week and hours for the pro-Vaslavl, well, at least it was)

it was possible to venerate the relics of St. Nicholas (they are in a separate crypt) only once a week, when an Orthodox priest read the service (and then, from the Russian Orthodox was not every week, we were escorted with an Armenian priest, it seems) We were about 5 years old ago, I watched the schedule, read the forums, I don’t know how it is now, but if you are in Bari and you get to guess, then you should prepare

I was not in Palermo, but in Bari at least 2, at least 3 days - nothing. And it's not in the city of Bari, you can see Bari itself in 3 hours. The point is the beauties that are collected in this region. Mast si - Alberobello, Matera, Polignano - a - Mare. A minimum of 4 days is required.
The crypt of St. Nicholas - a Catholic church There, in the basement, the relics of St. Nicholas are kept, the very one who is very revered in the UOC. Twice a week, an Orthodox service of the Russian Orthodox Church takes place in this basement, and only once, on Tuesdays, are the relics opened for worship - this is a very powerful action in terms of energy. You can treat the ROC as you like, but even if the Catholics set aside two days for the Orthodox in their church, is it worth it to rest on political principles? I am a non-believer, but the crypt made a strong impression on me.
You can touch the relics on Tuesday, at about 11-12 noon.

Kissing, touching and taking communion this year will not work - wearing masks and gloves is mandatory in public places throughout Italy. And museums and temples are already open from May-June, but there are very few tourists from abroad, up to 90% of visitors are Italians. Catania - 9 nights, Palermo + Bari -7 nights, total 16 nights in Italy? You just need to increase the number of places to visit. These are not necessarily famous cities, I am 100% sure of this. For example, Matera is 90 km southwest of Bari. I wish you a successful journey and, as always, good luck!

Apyatka, Catholics set aside time for holding services in the basilica for all churches of the Byzantine rite, not only the Russian Orthodox Church. After yesterday's action, I generally stopped considering that the ROC refers to Christianity (but this is not a topic for discussion on a tourist forum and this is my personal opinion, which I do not impose on anyone and whom I do not want to offend anyone, because religion is a purely personal matter ).
Igor_m, thank you very much))) You are absolutely right. Palermo and Catania are the starting points for traveling around the island. There will be many more locations.
Rebooked hotels. Now 9 nights Catania, 5 nights Palermo and 2 nights Bari.

And on the road from Bari to Matera there is the city of Altamura - you also need to go there. One day should be enough for three cities, preferably with one overnight stay.

We will arrive in Bari at 17-00, and the next day in the morning we will fly home. Therefore, we just go to Nikolai and take a walk around the city. We will explore Sicily)) I hope that in October Ukrainians will be allowed into the EU.

When you are in the city of Marsala, buy a bottle of red sweet fortified wine and a couple of packs of Savoyardi biscuits on your way home. When I post the recipe for "my" tiramisu on the appropriate forum, you will be "on horseback". Only Marsala wine is suitable for making real tiramisu.

well, and also such a momet, it is in Catania that the beaches are far from the center and not the best option, in the sense that there are better and more picturesque in the surroundings. If you are by car, then you can live not in Catania, but right on the sea, and go to visit, including Catania

In October, you can still swim in the Bari area!

Sicily is to the south, it should be even warmer there. Therefore, we decided to spend almost all the time in Sicily, and in Puglia maybe some other time. To be honest, we would not have stopped in Bari at all if we could have found a better connection with those tickets that were left in our hands after the cancellation of the flight to Madeira.

We realized that we like to stay in big cities more.

I don’t know anything about Sicily (except that now there are tickets from Kyiv for $ 56 round trip)), but sometimes south does not mean warmer sea. Just as a fact, I inform you that in October it’s quite bathable in Puglia)

Apyatka well, they can even sell tickets, today it’s a sale, but I called to find out so they said .. when they fly from Ukraine is unknown, I say why are you selling tickets? the answer is, you can always exchange it for a voucher!)) God forbid that planes fly from us to Italy, namely low-cost airlines.

Wizz has no problems exchanging tickets for vouchers. Everything works automatically and the money in the account appears instantly. Therefore, if it's cheap, you can safely take it. Then change the dates or get 120% of the amount for the purchase of new tickets. These are not freaks TAP Portugal, who canceled tickets and do not even issue a voucher for 1.5 months. 400 euros just went nowhere.

Will the voucher keep the value of the ticket you are buying or will the ticket cost other money later on?

No, Wizz allows you to exchange canceled tickets for other dates within a 2-month range. no surcharge. It used to be like this with us - they took tickets for 10 euros and changed them (the tickets were canceled due to the transfer of the flight time) to another date, which by that time cost around 100 euros.
