Palermo is an intoxicating blend of Sicilian flavors, ancient empires, and coastal beauty—now reachable nonstop from America for a taste of slow, sun-drenched living. Layers of history unfold in this Mediterranean port, from Arab-Norman palaces to Byzantine mosaics and Baroque chapels. Wander vibrant street markets like Ballarò, sample arancini and cannoli, or sip aperitivo by the sea as golden light hits crumbling facades. Palermo is raw and regal, chaotic and poetic—an unapologetic celebration of contrasts. It’s not just a destination; it’s a sensory immersion that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
