The Sicily region
The north west coast is steeped in history from the saracen invasions to the architecture of the norman period to the very ellaborate detail of the clever arab who occupied sicily peacefully for hundreds of years.
The north west has so much to see its difficult to know where to start, the best time to come and see this area is between march and November when the weather ranges from 18/42 degrees. sicily is the gem of the med and has yet to be totally discovered as there are vast areas untouched and undiscovered by tourism.
Palermo / Mondello area
Mondello being a distant suberb of Palermo is really very fashionable and in the summer months sees the influx of travellers bathing in its crystal clear azzure waters and sunning them selves on the white sand beach.
Mondello has been fashionable since the 1940s and its here you will find a fantastic art noveau period pier that dominates the coast region in the town.
Very colourful and fully working, it used to be the place for dancing and eating and today holds a fantastic restaurant where you can eat the freshest of fish whilst enjoying the wonderful views out to sea. Mondello and surrounding towns have weekly markets that are great for picking up italian bargains and local food supplies. The area is well known for its amazing fish restaurants so eating here is a treat for the senses.
