Directions to Mondello

Some 10 km west of Palermo is Mondello, a small mundane seaside resort.

Palermo's favourite spot for sunbathing is spread over 1.5 km and gets incredibly packed during summer, especially in August, being the popular months for Italians to take off for their holidays and students before the school season kicks in.

Mondello beach nestles between Monte Pellegrino and Monte Gallo, think soft white sand and deep azure and crystal clear sea beds. It is a busy resort with fashionable shops in pleasant pedestrians streets, some hotels, plenty of bars, restaurants and ice-cream stands all lined up around the beach offering fresh and extremely tasty seafood dishes, refreshing drinks and Sicilian ice cream.

Mondello also hosts Sicily's Word Festival which attracts thousands of visitors not only for the stunning surroundings, but also for taking part in many activities including sky diving, paragliding, kite surfing, golf, photo competitions and many more.
