The town of Termini Imerese is located in the Province of Palermo, on the north coast of Sicily in southern Italy. Located around 40 km to the east of the city of Palermo, the site of Termini Imerese has been inhabited since pre-historic times. Over recent decades many artefacts have been excavated which dates the town's recorded origins to 409 BC when Himera, its more ancient neighbour, was completely destroyed by the Carthaginian army under Hannibal Mago.
Apart from a hilltop fortress and a few fragments of Roman architecture, little of the town's ancient history remain. There is not a great deal for visitors to see in the town although the museum in the town does contain a few finds from the Arab-period. The town is also close to the Himera archaeological site which is about 5 km to the east of Termini Imerese in a coastal plain at the mouth of the Imera River. The town is also a good reference point on the way to Caccamo Castle which is about 14 km to the south, located up a winding mountain road.
From the town's small port ferries depart to Civitavecchia on the Italian mainland.
The port city of Genoa is located in the Liguria region of Italy and lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast. Genoa's historic centre is a maze of narrow alleys that open up onto small squares and is where visitors can't fail to appreciate the history and culture that embodies the city. Architecturally there are many different styles sitting side by side with a medieval wall acting as a base for a 14th century building on Gothic loggias. Genoa really is a place where the past literally forms the foundations of the present.
The city's old port, redesigned by Renzo Piano in 1992, is a popular draw for tourists who go there to take in all the sites the old port area has to offer. A popular site located close to the pier is the city's lighthouse where lovely views of Genoa and its Gulf can be had.
Genoa's ferry terminal is located in the Calata Chiappella and ferries depart towards Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, Spain, Tunisia and Morocco. The terminal building has all of the usual passenger facilities and is also wheelchair friendly.
