  • On this episode of You, Me and Sicily we travel to Termini Imerese in the Province of Palermo to visit the ancient site of Himera and the Greek Temple of Athena. Next we go to the port, then head up to the main square and along the way catch some interesting scenes of everyday life in Termini. After the cathedral we visit the public garden and along the way take in beautiful panoramas of the port of Termini, the port of Palermo and more . Next we go to the gate of Palermo and finally one of our favorite restaurants outside the Temple of Athena called Himera.

    My ancestors are from here. It's so wonderful to be able to learn about their homeland on this video. You did a great job with the videography, the pacing, the music and your lovely voice. Thank you.

    Thank you both for this video. It helped me to see where my grandparents came from. So much of our history was not asked by us when we were young. Now that we’re grandparents, it becomes very important. 🥰

    Another great and interesting video. We went to Himera and ate in that restaurant when we visited Sicily by Dreams. It was fantastic and some of the best food we had in Sicily!

    Nice tour. Love the beaches from Termini to Campo Felice. I didn't know about the connection with Bari and St. Nicolas. We toured St. Nicolas in Bari once to hear about how the Italians stold Santa's remains from Turkey. They still hold services there with both the Greek and Roman liturgies like some towns in Sicily.

      YES Termini Imerese is right off the highway. But to get to Himera easier to take next exit Campofelice di Roccella, there is even a sign as you exit saying Himera Archeological Park
