About Palermo

Palermo's coastline is the real draw here: limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise water at Capo Gallo, the crescent bay of Mondello, and sea caves you can only reach by boat. A half-day on the water is the best way to see the city from the sea, and the range of trips is wide — from the Palermo: Shared Boat Tour with Snacks & Snorkeling - Explore Sicily's Coast to the longer Palermo: Catamaran Day Trip with Lunch and Snorkeling that anchors off the reserve for a full afternoon of swimming.

Frequently asked questions

Palermo's best coastline is only accessible by sea. Boat tours reach the cliffs and sea caves of Capo Gallo, the protected marine reserve, and the bay of Mondello, with stops for swimming and snorkeling in clear water. You also get the city's skyline from the water, which is a completely different perspective from the streets.
