Palermo offers the cruising grounds of the Aegadian islands, Malta and Tunisia. Palermo is the capital of Sicily in the province of the same name, and is located on the north western coast of the island in a marvelous inlet by Monte Pellegrino, described as 'The most beautiful promontory in the world', which dominates the western border of the Conca d'Oro laden with oranges and lemons. The city extends along the slope between Monte Pellegrino and Capo Mongerbino. The city then turns inwards and climbs up to Monreale, with its beautiful view. The glorious Conca d'Oro also makes up part of Palermo. The mountains crown the city, the gardens dress it in green, the sea caresses it and the sky covers the city with a blue veil.

There are plenty of sheltered harbors, anchorages and bays, although care must be taken due to tides and underwater rocks. See if you qualify to sail this destination. | |
