🇮🇹 Must-Visit Italian Island Getaway | Palermo, Sicily 🏝️

This summer’s must-visit island destination? Palermo, Sicily! 💕 If you're dreaming of a budget-friendly yet ultra-photogenic European island escape, I highly recommend Palermo—a vibrant coastal city bursting with Southern Italian charm and laid-back Mediterranean vibes. 🩵 I visited last summer under perfect blue skies—golden sunlight on lemon-yellow walls, vintage green shutters, and every corner looking like a movie set 🎞️. That’s why I’m recommending it to anyone planning an Italian trip, especially if you love Sicily! Yes, some streets are a bit gritty, but overall? A photographer’s paradise. 💕 🌟 Rating: 10/10 🍇 Food & Drink Picks 1️⃣ Limoncello Spritz – The perfect refreshing summer aperitivo! 🍋 2️⃣ Arancina – Crispy fried rice balls stuffed with pasta, cheese, and more—Sicily’s iconic street snack! 🧀 3️⃣ Cannoli – Crunchy shell + sweet ricotta filling = pure bliss 🥰 4️⃣ Pizza, pasta & gelato – Check Google for top-rated local spots!
