While we arrived late night to Palermo our traveling companions arrived earlier. Antonio together with his English speaking daughter picked them up at the bus station, straight of the airport bus. They gave them a nice tour of Palermo while driving them back to the apartment. This was very appreciated. The apartment was beautiful and of a high standard. The only drawback is that it's a little walk to city center and as with any apartment in Palermo quite far away from the closest beach. To get to the beach you have to take a taxi or the public bus that takes some 30 minutes. The walk to the bus stop is some 15 minutes.
