🇮🇹 Sicilian Summer in Palermo 🍋🌊 (A Lazy Girl’s Guide)

✨ Why Palermo? Sicily’s hottest coastal capital where ancient ruins, turquoise seas, and chaotic markets collide—all at shockingly cheap prices! (Think €1.5 arancini & €6 cherry feasts 🍒) 🌴 Day 1: Beach Bliss 🏖️ Mondello Beach "Jellyfish Sea" 💙 (that blue!!) Free side (left of bridge) vs. €15 sunbed side (right) — worth it for shade & photos! 🚌 Easy bus ride from city center (~25min) 🌃 Nightlife at La Vucciria Hip bars + seafood feasts 🦞 Tried a xiaohongshu-famous spot (P6’s seafood risotto = 👍) 🍝 Day 2: Market Hopping 🛒 Mercato di Capo (Better than Ballarò!) Must-eats: Arancini (€1.5! Mozzarella > all) Pistachio pasta 🍝 Octopus salad 🐙 Sicilian eggplant pie 🥧 Pro tip: First stall = most generous samples! 📸 Quick City Sights: Passed by Teatro Massimo (The Godfather vibes) Snap Quattro Canti (Baroque selfie spot!) 🚆 Final Treats Gelato-in-brioche near train station — MASSIVE & only €3! That €1.5 life-changing arancino 🤯 (Shop owner’s pride!) 💸 Sicily’s Magic Formula: Sun + Sea + € = Happiness #SicilyTravel #BudgetItaly #SeafoodParadise #AranciniAddict 🇮🇹✨
