It all sounds so great so far, and it was. This port, however was the centerpiece of the trip, an experience that will likely never be repeated. On the Monday following Easter, Italians celebrate Little Easter, “la Pasquetta” which is sort of like Memorial Day, usually spent with friends relaxing on a day off. But in Palermo, about 3 miles up in the mountains, a little village called San Martino delle Scale where there is a lovely Benedictine Monastery, a Medieval tradition continues. I had read about it while doing my research on the trip. They have a little festival with dances and feasting, an organ concert at the monastery and the monks, who have kept the birds safe and sheltered throughout the winter, release the birds from the back of a decorated Sicilian cart. I was thinking to myself, “I have to experience this!” And when sharing it on the roll call, about 30 of my friends there agreed. I set up a tour to the mountain, and the village welcomed us with open arms! It was truly unforgettable and inspiring, a once in a lifetime experience, and if you happen to be in Sicily on la Pasquetta, do not miss it for the world. Learn, “Buona Pasqua!” (Happy Easter!) and “Grazie!” (Thank you!). The monks and the townsfolk are wonderful.

Palermo was nice with lots to see. However it was very crowded in the main market area. Also, our shore excursion involved lots of walking which was very challenging given the extreme heat - but obviously this wouldn't be a problem at other times of year.

Got off ship and asked hop on hop off bus lady if she could direct us to the old town shopping district. Told us too far over an hour to walk there, decided to take horses carriage agreed on 40 Euros to take us there. The driver took us to a park, a church and a food market before dropping us off at the old town. At this point the driver wanted 80 Euros, we said no we were to,d 40 Euros, he started to shout and would not take our 40 Euros. Finally we agreed on 60 Euros, be careful at this port as they do not honour what they say before you leave. The town is nice and shopping is good

You can go to the city directly from the ship without shuttle, so it is a good stop to visit the old town, a old nice City. I like it, not so far away from the ship.

Weather not great and guide on walking tour was poor. I would choose a different tour next time. We have previously done wine tasting on another part of the island which was fantastic.
