    The Palermo port is right by the city. You can walk from the port but keep in mind that Palermo is huge and the distances are long. It is the best to use the buses. There is a Tourist Information stall right at the exit from the port (after you pass all the pestering taxi drivers) with a helpful guy who knows English well. He will give you a Palermo map and explain about the bus numbers and where to get them. Beware the taxi drivers! They keep pestering you even if you want to visit only one place and they just go on and on saying that they will take you for 100 EUR for three places. That is far too much! Even if you are sharing the cost with friends. Keep in mind: a bus ticket costs only 1 EUR and you get to ride with the locals.

    I've gone in Palermo by ship, leaving from Genova.
    In this way tre trip is longer, about 22 h, but it's really a wonderful way to trip...!
    In other way the plane is really more fast..!
    You'll arrive directly at Falcone e Borsellino Airport.

    Try to reach an island as it was done in the beginning: by sea! Now there are huige and comfortable ships supporting your effort. You may leave from Genova, Cagliari and Napoli, and your car can come along.
