Last exit Palermo - Sicily - black and white by Silva Wischeropp

This maritime landscape photograph was taken during my Easter trip on 22 April 2022 in the early afternoon hours with the NIKON D800 (lens: NIKKOR 50.0 mm f/1.4).

The reduction of colours to classic black and white gives the image an elegant and timeless atmosphere. The dramatic cloudy sky gives the motif an exciting, dynamic aura and a very special, mysterious visual effect.

Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily and a very popular destination for Mediterranean cruises in the western Mediterranean.

Large cruise ships from Aida, Costa, MSC, TUI Cruises & Co. regularly dock in Palermo. As the cruise ship enters the harbour, it is worth taking a first look at the beautiful Sicilian port city and seeing the first of countless sights.
Palermo has several large berths for cruise ships, which are located next to each other. The berths at the port of Palermo are within sight of the city centre, so you can reach the centre of Palermo in a few minutes.
You can then easily and conveniently explore Palermo on your own.

The port of Palermo is one of the most important ports in Italy and is essentially divided into the large commercial and cruise port near the old town (with the "Stazione Marittima" terminal) and the picturesque marina La Cala.
Other marinas in Palermo include Marina Villa Igiea, Acquasanta and Arenella.

Main/cruise port (Porto di Palermo):
Located close to the city centre, this is the port of call for large cruise ships.
There are connections to Genoa, Naples, Civitavecchia, Livorno, Sardinia, Tunis, Malta and the Aeolian Islands.
La Cala Marina (Marina di La Cala):
The oldest part, which extends into the city in a U-shape and was converted into a modern marina after 2008.
Home to sailing and motor yachts as well as numerous restaurants and bars.
