Porto dell'Arenella

Tucked into the Basin of the New Port Arenella, this marina sits about 4 km from Palermo's city center, making it easy to dip into the old town without a long haul. The sandy bottom runs 4–7 meters deep, and berths run around €183/night. It's a laid-back pocket of the waterfront, a contrast to the busier commercial port traffic elsewhere in the city.
