| Me on Mondello Beach, Palermo, SICILY |
One of the best places in Palermo...
Mondello Beach is a bit far from the town - you definitely need to hire a taxi, preferably a good one, because otherwise they'll ask you to pay more than it actually takes - the distance is not comparable to the distance you'd have in the town - you're going a bit far - 15 minutes in total maybe, but Palermo is a small town, so 15 minutes is a long time there.
The beach itself is a great place! I don't only mean the sea, but the environment as well. The sea is a very beautiful turqoise, and the beach is very busy (probably because I was there on a Sunday!) There is a highway, a very busy one, people are walking, driving, even dancing... These are people from town, coming down there on Sundays as I've heard from a local, and they generally spend the whole day on the beach. Swimming, relaxing, playing cards (mostly the elders), hanging out with girls and boys, eating, drinking... The usual lazy Italians...
