Santa Flavia – A hidden treasure on the outskirts of Palermo

Off the tourist routes but worthy of any guide book, this quintessentially Sicilian little town is an undiscovered jewel. A quiet, well maintained residential neighbourhood served by a railway station in the centre of town, Santa Flavia is the ideal base for those who want to discover the real Sicily without renting a car.

In twenty minutes you can be in historic Palermo, and within an hour you can be running your toes through the fine golden sand of one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island, in Cefalù.

In lively and welcoming Santa Flavia, everything you need is close at hand. The smell of fresh bread and coffee is everywhere throughout the day, and for fruit and vegetables you don’t even have to leave your house – experience the timeless charm of buying succulent, locally grown produce from grocers who weave through the streets and alleys of town bringing their delicious fare direct to your door.

With its sister town of Porticello, Santa Flavia forms the second largest fishing port in Sicily. Every day you can try your hand at preparing a new fish dish with the most freshly caught fare money can buy. If you’re not an expert in the kitchen, the town is packed with wonderful fish restaurants to cater to every palate.
