Mondello, one of the best beaches in Sicily

Outside of Palermo, the capital of Sicily, it is possible to find an ideal space for relaxation and fun. It's about the mondello beach, one of the most popular in the whole island for various reasons.

To begin with, it must be said that the sand is very fine and its waters are transparent, two essential requirements for any self-respecting beach.

VIP zone and free zone

As soon as you park (you can do it by paying the blue zone or without paying if you are luckier) you will realize that there is a fairly large area that is paid. To access it (lounger and umbrella included) you must pay 14 euros for the whole day or 7 euros from 2:00 p.m. Of course, if you go two people you will pay 20 euros in total or 10 euros from 14:00. It is also possible to pay an extra to enjoy the solarium available in the area. You can check all the prices in the image gallery.

It is best not to pay. Although of course, you will have neither an umbrella nor a deckchair and you will have to make a hole in a space of shore of approximately 10-25 meters depending on the area. Despite this, it is not difficult to find a place to put towels, especially if you go before 10 in the morning.

From that moment on, you will only have to apply the sunscreen and you will enjoy Mondello. You will notice that when you enter covers very little and you will have to walk a few meters so that the water reaches you above the waist.

The most curious thing of all is that a few meters later the water will reach you below the waist, so it is a beach that does not cover you 100% until you have walked more than 70 meters. That makes it perfect for shoveling or other ball games in between.

Many options to eat at a good price

You will have a very easy time eating, since there are different bars They offer all kinds of meals at a very affordable price. You'll find beach bars where to eat for less than 10 euros per person and restaurants with more sophisticated menus in which fish is the star food.
