Panetteria La Chicca

If you make the trip to Levanzo, stop by La Chicca and buy the cabbucio (sandwich made with pizza bread) to take with you on your picnic by the beach

Levanzo

If traveling along the western coast of Sicily, it’s worth making the day trip over to Levanzo, a super small island off the coast. You take the ferry from Trapani (round trip 20€, 25mins). The island is untouched, and beautiful in its simplicity.

Tonnara di Scopello

Three beaches near each other worth a visit are the Tonnara di Scopello, Cala Mazzo di Sciacca and the Riserva Naturale Orientata.

Agriturismo Tenute Pispisa

Stayed here for two nights-family run agriturismo (B&B) in a beautiful area surrounded by ancient Roman architecture(!). Food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious, as if made by an Italian nonna. Could also rent bikes and ride around the area and was a quick-ish drive away from nice beaches.

Ideal Caffè Stagnitta

Apparently the best coffee in Palermo. Known for their Sicilian breakfast (granite and croissant). Nice part of town too.

Antica Focacceria San Francesco

Fun, laidback and ambient restaurant in Palermo known for their Sicilian focaccia. Nice for people watching and groups.
