Palermo in October
There's a very interesting article about Sicily and Palermo in today's Daily Telegraph, including travel and accommodation tips.

Re: Palermo in October
I have just booked two Sleazy flights from Gatwick. I bought the last flights cheaper than £37 on the way back. I looked at these last weekend, and they were less than £30.
As the Warner Brothers used to say in the 1970s "Book early!"

Re: Palermo in October
Flights booked, Tuesday to Tuesday.
While I was in Palermo in December I stayed in a pleasant and reasonably priced hotel in the Kalsa district, which is in one of the older and more atmospheric parts of the city. I mentioned the One Challenge to the Proprietor and enquired about a discount for a group booking and he was said no problem so please let me know if you're interested and I'll find out what he'll offer. I'll start a separate thread in a little while with all the arrangements for the One Challenge. Pete.

Re: Palermo in October
This is a bit of a shame. The train is €5.80. A taxi is about €58.00. It doesn't say when the line will be back in business.
RAIL TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED

Re: Palermo in October
"Prestia e Comandè" buses (coaches) cost €5 from the airport and run half-hourly to any of 3 local bus hubs at Ferrovia, Libertà and Politeama. The journey time is about 45 minutes to the last stop at Ferrovia (the train station).

Re: Palermo in October
"Top Tip for accommodation Nr 321"
Book through www.booking.com rather than (as I have generally done in the past) www.expedia.co.uk With booking.com you pay the bill at the hotel. With Expedia, you pay the bill when you book. Which might be about 6 months in advance...

Hi Pete, we would certainly be interested in doing a 'group booking' at the hotel. I haven't booked flights yet but intend to in the next week or two. Problem is I've hardly been in the UK so far this year. Cheers, Tom |

Re: Palermo in October
We have already booked our hotel, but this group booking sounds like a good idea if a decent discount can be negotiated.
