Greek temples, baroque towns, and the Mediterranean's finest street food — the soul of Italy.
Palermo is Sicily's capital and one of the Mediterranean's most historically layered cities — Arab, Norman, and Baroque architecture fuse into a unique whole (UNESCO). Street food is Italy's finest: arancini, granita, caponata, and fresh fish at Ballarò market. Mondello beach is among Italy's best, and the Baroque towns of southern Sicily (Noto, Modica) make perfect day trips.
