Left Palermo after 3 days.
be seriously underrated
in travel guides. Beautiful island, mist-covered mountains running to the sea, big skies, friendly locals
,
and great food.
Palermo gets knocked for being "gritty" - there's a lot of slow traffic, and some garbage on the streets - but
nothing compared to Mexico.
The architecture and ruins are stunning, especially the Moorish-influenced cathedrals. The history of the island - Phoenicians,
Greeks, Romans, Moors, Normans, Spanish and Italians - is layered into the buildings.
Lots of Greek and Roman structures everywhere you look, and a great city to walk. Super
c
heap compared to London
.
