Aristocrats reside in the baroque palaces whilst some streets are still being rebuilt after the second world war – Palermo is the epitome of a paradoxical city. Lying between Europe and Africa, a unique Mediterranean feel embodies the most visited area of Sicily; vintage wine stores are scattered around the quaint, narrow streets whilst the chapels and churches stand proud against the shrinking landscape. The Palazzo dei Normanni e Cappella Palatina, Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio and Cattedrale di Palermo all exemplify the stunning architecture synonymous with Palermo. What makes the city so unique is the varied history it represents; all of the neighbouring countries and regions have occupied the land at one time. It is possible to enjoy Arabic food whilst looking at Norman towers, though the whole city remains unashamedly Italian. The streets buzz with locals selling authentic clothes and fresh food on the markets, whilst in the quieter regions the smell of some of the world’s best coffee often proves too tempting for most. Quite simply, Sicily is an Italian experience like no other
The public tram system is the prominent form of public transport around the city, though there are also taxis readily available.
It’s rare for an island adorning an active volcano to elevate into such a prominent holiday destination, but the languid pace and enigmatic allure prove too tempting for many who visit Italy’s smaller islands. Much of the island has been blackened from the constant stream of volcanic eruptions, however, the north-eastern region of Stromboli remains untouched, remaining fully inhabited throughout the centuries and demonstrates the appeal emanating from the charming cafes and welcoming restaurants. The limited inhabitable villages mean that is only plausible to visit for a day or two, though the friendly, warm atmosphere flowing around the colourful buildings evinces love at first sight for most visitors. Whilst in the northern corner, it is almost compulsory to visit the black beaches that decorate the coastline, curling elegantly around the rugged landscape. As beautiful as the island may appear, bear in mind the practical difficulties; there is no original water supply and electricity is in short supply.
It is only a kilometre from one side of the island to another, so the primary option for transport is on two feet.
