Sicily Guide

Sicily, a gem in the Mediterranean Sea, is renowned for its rich history and stunning landscapes. Palermo ferry port, the island's bustling capital, serves as a gateway to a treasure trove of attractions. Visitors can explore the magnificent Palermo Cathedral, the historic Teatro Massimo, and the vibrant markets of Ballarò and Vucciria. Yearly, the city hosts the colourful Feast of Santa Rosalia, a celebration not to be missed. From Palermo ferry port, travellers can easily venture to other parts of the island by train or bus. Conveniently, the city centre is a short bus ride away, making it an ideal starting point for your Sicilian adventure.
