Shopping in Sicily

Sicily is known for Italian ceramics, which can readily be found in Caltagirone and Santo Stefano. Sicilian pottery, place mats, tablecloths, napkins and clothing are plentiful in Cefalu, Taormina and Erice. Main shopping centers are located in Politeama and Liverta, and in Palermo along Via Roma and Via Maqueda, where shoppers delight in the boutiques and shoe shops. Just to the north of Piazza Castlenuovo, Via della Liberta and the streets that surround the area, shoppers enter the luxury area of some of Palermo's best-known stores. Flea markets are located behind the Cattedrale on Via Papireto and Corso Amedeo is home to many antique shops.
