Termini Imerese has a medium port, a part for the ferries coming from Genoa and Rome, the other part is for the sports and sailboats as well as fishermen. A bridge in the middle ensures that the movement of water when maneuvering the ferries does not pass over to the marina. Behind the breakwater between the harbor and the beach, there is a small marina for pleasure boats with less draft, but with a very narrow driveway.
There are enough yards that can help with an emergency. This area around the port is called Termini bassa. With a walk of about 10 minutes you will find a wholesale market, shopping streets, restaurants and boat accessories. Right on the harbor is a discotheque and pizzeria. There are 2 gas stations nearby, about 5-10 min. Footpath, water is available in the harbor. From the harbor towards the train station, you will find a post office and banks with ATMs. There are no gas bottles for the kitchen, but they are delivered when they call.
You can also rent boats in the port, details can be found here or through your agency. Boats for longer trips, e.g. Direction Eolie or Ustica, etc. I would book in Germany or country of origin. Day trips are definitely going straight from here without any problems.
The jetties are guarded, if you want to make a trip, there are rental cars to rent and you can calmly look at the sights outside the city. The antique streets and buildings of Termini Imerese I would consider walking, it's worth it.
Friday morning and Wednesday morning is right on the harbor a market that offers just about everything you might need. It would be interesting to look, especially in the corner with fresh products. The local gardeners, fishermen and cheese makers sell their goods here.
On the jetties for the pleasure boats in the summer is always someone who can help them. There are enough inhabitants who were in Germany and sometimes even went to school there, even if now the one they ask does not speak German or other languages, I'm sure he or she knows someone who speaks the language.

The Corso is one of the shopping streets in Termini Imerese bassa. From the train station, Via Libertà, it starts behind the post office, which is open only in the morning, but the ATM is available 24 hours a day. In front of the post office is a good parking lot if you want to park your car.
This is followed by a wide range of shopping, hairdressing, opticians, jewelers, women's and men's clothing, bookstore, photography shop, which prints their digital photos and sells accessories. The largest shop, Cascino, is next door to Post and offers a wide selection of battery, DVD, crafts, household and computer etc. It is followed by banks and tobacco shops, which also offer stamps and possibly postcards, magazines and office supplies. There is a cup of coffee in the bars, which also have something edible.
Along the Corso you will find some great houses, built in the bourgeois style. In between the normal construction of the south and unfortunately also some monumental skyscrapers.
Pretty in the middle of the corso is the church of S.Giuseppe, which contains a beautiful statue in a niche on the front.
The Corso ends at Via Mulè and Via del Santuario della Consolazione, the square is called Piazza la Masa. If you turn right, you will come to another shopping street via Vittorio Emanuele.

To get to the steps of Via Sant'Orsola, starting from the station, take Via Libertà to the post office, then Corso Umberto e Margherita to the end. At the end, there is a square, from where we come to Via del Santuario della Consolazione, which ends at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, and go up to Piazza Liborio Arrigo, which ends with the steps to Via Sant'Orsola.
If you come by car, leave the highway exit, Via Falcone e Borsellino, then direction Porto, behind the workshop Fiat, left then straight, after the curve, underpass at the railway embankment direction Grand Hotel (Therme), in front of the hotel on the right high, drive slowly until you see a blue dome of a church, find a parking space and walk. The roads that leave from the serpentines are narrow and often dead ends. The street with the blue dome, the church is called l'Annunziata, go straight, at the end left and straight again and they have arrived. On the left you will see the church of Sant'Orsola and the steps down is Via Sant'Orsola.
Or take Via Falcone e Borsellino, which leads to Piazza Antonio, then to Palazzo Cumunale or Museo, Via Vittorio Amedeo II, Piazza Umberto I, Piazza Duomo, past the Duomo and behind the Duomo on the right, down the serpentines. If you are looking for a blue church dome near this street, look for a parking space, the rest as above.
You are in the ancient district of Rocchecelle, where part of the history of Termini Imerese took place.
The church, dedicated to Sant'Orsola, was built in 1569 on the remains of an older one, which was then used as a cemetery, the catacombs are still intact today and contain some mummies. A tower from the Roman period was integrated, which also has traces from the Arab area.
Unfortunately, the churches can only be visited from the outside, the Sant'Orsola, like all churches in Termini Imerese, has an artistically unique style.
In front of the church, pretty much in the middle left from the bottom, are the steps of Via S'Agata, from where they come to Via Roma.
If you are at the church and go straight ahead, you will see a church tower in southern style, for many Termitans and also for me this dome and church, l'Annunziata, is the landmark of Termini Imerese.
Turn right at the Annunziata and go straight on, they are on the serpentines, go up from there, they are at the Belvedere and can relax. Drink an espresso and eat an ice cream, it was exhausting but nice..
