About Palermo
Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily; its ferry port is on the northwest coast of the island. In the Middle Ages, Palermo was one of the premier cities in Europe, but today it is still recovering from its twentieth-century ruin. With its reputation as a hotbed of both petty and organised crime, Palermo's attractions are often overlooked. There is some beautiful architecture to be found here, and the city has good museums, churches, markets, and restaurants that are well worth a visit.
Palermo's historic centre, Quattro Canti, in the form of a large octagonal square, is the main attraction in the city's old quarter. Many churches, structures, monuments, and other historical sites of interest are located in or near Palermo's Quattro Canti.

Reviews For Palermo-Genoa
Change of trajectory and schedule…
Change of trajectory and schedule (anticipated) announced 7 hours before the originally planned time, not ideal
The last time 6 years…
The last time 6 years ago was not good, bad organized, almost chaos, this time was great! Organisation, food, cabins! You did a good job in improving, we could relax with our dogs and enjoy a jummy pizza, loved it!!
We had a big disappointment…
We had a big disappointment this trip. In the cabin, the sheets on one bed were black (bloody), the cabin ventilation could not be adjusted - the wind was too strong when sleeping, hitting your head. There was no internet during the entire trip - I needed to work on the computer, which I couldn't do! The dogs had peed and shit all over the ship, even while eating breakfast at the table next to us, the dog peed under the table - it just made me vomit!
