Impressions of Bagheria
Bagheria is definitely great for holidays on the sea. In the Mongerbino district there are holiday apartments available with private beaches – perfect for rest and relaxation. When you wake up, you don't get into the shower – you take a dip in the sea which is right at your doorstep. It's a private paradise with Mediterranean greenery and the kind of sunshine you can only find in Sicily.
These Trip Tipp photos are not only about the sea, however. The human side of Bagheria very interesting as well. And just 20 km away there is the great Sicilian city of Palermo.
