Those familiar with Italy will sense that a noticeably different air permeates Palermo, one suggestive of being in an entirely different country. Ask a native whether he/she is Italian or Sicilian and hear the sweet sound of "Io sono siciliano/a!" tickle your ears! As you walk the Palermo streets, the city's distinctiveness will reveal itself to you, whether you are passing Arab or Norman architecture, traversing its famed food/spice market, or just observing the rituals and mannerisms of each native. But if you want to immerse yourself in the delicious culinary culture of Palermo, try each of this city's famous if unusual dishes and your palate will be more than pleased that you decided to visit this historic city!

A trip to southern Italian is about stirring your senses with the most wonderful, beautiful, and delicious items imaginable - for this our next stop is Campania's legendary coast...

The beauty that extends the entire length of the Amalfi Coast is nothing short of mythic. For the Ancients it was quite literally so: their explanation for the region's remarkable crystal blue waters, lush gardens, and arresting views was related to the legend of the romance between Hercules and his beautiful but ill-fated lover, the nymph Amalfi. Even in the 21st century, traveling the Amalfi Coast and the quaint towns that dot its ruggedly beautiful terrain presents vacationers with something akin to a religious experience. Indeed, as you admire your surroundings with a glass of refreshing white wine in hand you may even be tempted to think that you're lounging atop Mount Olympus!
