Mondello Walking Tour and Home Dinner

Sightseeing  :  Italy  :  Sicily  :  Palermo  :  Walking Tours

Embark on a totally original experience with a walk in the most famous and evocative seaside village of Palermo area. Accompanied by a local guide, see the elegant Mondello boulevards that, at the end of the tour, will open the doors of her beautiful liberty villa for a dinner."In my family we have the sea in our DNA. My uncles were ship commanders, as well as my grandfather and my great-grandfather. The father of my great-grandfather was a sailor. The history of my family interweaves with that of the township: the grandfather of Aunt Lina had a piece of Mount Gallo, my grandfather Peppino Denaro was the Mayor delegate and a dialectal poet. During our walk I will let you discover a Mondello that is not just about bather booths and sunscreens, it is also historic sailing clubs and magnificent Liberty villas, ancient games on the beach, plants and lavish gardens. At the end of the trip I will receive you at Denaro’s Villa where I grew up and still live. There I will tell you when Uncle Ino gave birth to a baby girl in the middle of the sea and when "our" ship, the New Ustica, sank”.
This is how Luciana, local guide in Mondello, tells about her tales about the most authentic and elegant seaside village of Palermo, a popular summer destination of bathers and visitors.
