But it's not just Palermo that's awesome: the rest of the Island is, too. So explore the rest of Sicily, beginning with its most picturesque oceanfront!
The delights of Taormina, Sicily's picturesque seaside town, are nothing short of divine. Perched atop steep volcanic cliffs, Taormina offers its visitors the best of Sicilian cuisine and culture paired with one of the island's most scenically beautiful locations. Walking its medieval streets you see the pristine sea beckoning from below; and if you fancy a brief walk down to the seashore, Taormina will present you with a beach of the most paradisiacal variety imaginable. It is impossible not to be utterly satisfied by Taormina's abundant charms, a fact that will make having a very special vacation here the easiest thing you have accomplished in a very long time!
Now we turn our attention to the north to see what Campania has in store for us.
If you want an authentic taste of southern Italian culture, Sorrento is as good a destination as any on the peninsula. Walking through Sorrento you'll be surrounded by the thrilling energy of Campania, complemented by the constant drone of Vespa motorbikes tearing through the city and rugged Italian men conversing heatedly in the cafés. Just like that of Naples, Sorrento's fare is mainly based on the holy culinary trinity of tomato, basil, and mozzarella, and the resulting dishes are any food lover's dream. And as the city pulsates with vivacity, Sorrento's cliffs invite you to admire a panoramic view of the Mediterranean, either hand-in-hand with your significant other or in solitary contemplation with a glass of wine.
Before you head home, how about one more special treat? Think of it like dessert!
Rome, la città eternale, is a spectacular destination that has the sole aim of giving you a taste of la dolce vita. As you sip a cappuccino and munch on an Italian cornetto, your mood will first relax and then enliven; the evocative flavors may inspire you to consider how you will best enjoy the city. Perhaps a leisurely walk through the glorious ruins of Ancient Rome, an exquisite lunch in the Parco dei Fiori, followed by an extended visit to Vatican City to marvel at its wondrous art? Truly, the choices are as endless as they are delightful; and whatever you do in Rome, you will cherish the resulting memories for a long time to come.
