Palermo

Embarkation

Depart 18:00

Palermo docks close to the centre of a city that rewards walking more than touring: Arab-Norman churches, three street markets and a baroque core that has not been polished for visitors. Monreale and its cathedral mosaics are twenty minutes uphill and are the one thing worth leaving town for.
