Greeks known as Palermo, Panormos, “all port” and if you wish to uncover firsthand why, one of the simplest ways to do it’s to stroll alongside its promenade by the ocean.

We stroll from one level to the opposite of the town, from the port of La Cala to the small port of Sant Erasmo, to take pleasure in as a vero palermitano an area that’s being recovered for the town and the enjoyment of locals an foreigners.

La Cala

La Cala is the previous port of Palermo, it has the form of a “U” and it’s these days a traditional vacationer harbor with fishing and crusing boats.

Strolling alongside the pedestrian space you may admire the large mural that remembers Falcone and Borsellino and virtually at all times you will see that the sailors repairing their boats or able to sail, fish distributors or different Palermitans making an attempt to fish, to whom you may quietly watch if they’ve caught one thing sitting with none duty in one of many close by bars.

Foro Italico

This a part of the promenade is among the most frequented by Palermitans for jogging or biking, and when the solar goes down, yow will discover any type of sport, from yoga to African dance and even cricket matches should you’re fortunate!

In case you are a calmer kind, you even have your home. Within the gardens subsequent to the promenade, you may have an improvised picnic or take a nap underneath the palm bushes. If the day is especially windy, don’t miss the chance to fly kites.

If at any second you’re hungry or thirsty, a couple of meters away the drinks cart (strive a refreshing orzata!) and the paninaro, the sandwich vendor, awaits you.

Sant’Erasmo

The times when Palermo turned its again on the ocean appear to have come to an finish with the rehabilitation of this a part of the town.

The small Port of Sant’Erasmo has come again to life a few years in the past. To have fun it possibly the perfect factor to do is to toast with a superb Sicilian wine in one of many good eating places round whereas having fun with the view of the ocean; that sea that Palermitans couldn’t take pleasure in for thus a few years.
