Palermo, Sicily, Italy

Day 1

We took a 2 and a half hour flight from Paris to the city of Palermo in the island of Sicily.

We stayed at an AirBnB which was a huge suite with 2 bathrooms,with balconies, a bedroom with chandeliers and a living room with vintage woodern furniture.

You could buy bus tickets at 1 Euro from tobacco shops which are valid for 75 minutes from the moment you validate the ticket for the first time at validating machines inside the bus or at the bus stop.

No one checks for tickets, you need to buy to satisfy your own conscience 🙂 . You could use the same ticket in as many buses as you want as long as you validate it within 75 minutes. Technically, it is OK to validate the ticket when you board the bus and then stay on the bus as long as you wish to.

Day 2

We walked around the monuments in Palermo including the the places where the movie Godfather was shot.

We traveled to the city of Cefalu, which has a beautiful beach. We bought a train ticket from the Palermo Centrale at 5 Euros per side per person ( this felt super cheap ) for the 1 hour journey to Cefalu.

In the evening, we took a bus to the Mondello beach which is about half an hour from the city of Palermo.
