Touring Palermo (Excursion)

Palermo

This was the second largest city in the entire world at the turn of the last millennium, second only to Constantinople(Istanbul).

We got a 24 hour pass for the "open-top double-decker" tour bus (€15)which allowed us to do the red route, one afternoon and the blue route the following morning. The bus is hop-on-hop-off, so you can see as much or as little as you wish.

We find it best to sit on the bus for a complete circuit and then decide where we want to get off on the next go around.

Arenella Marina (Marina)

Perfect spot to stop and explore Palermo which is a convenient 20 minute bus ride away.

I think we paid €25 per night here. Friendly staff. Quaint surroundings if somewhat in need of paint and TLC.

Palermo Harbour (Marina)

Palermo

The floating docks are expensive at €90 for 50 ft.

Dock stern or bow to the inner breakwater. Not sure if lazy line moorings are available or if you need to anchor. 

A dirty commercial harbour with a lot of traffic.
