Experience Details*
Cefalù is a charming town located on the northern coast of Sicily, half way between Palermo and Capo d’Orlando. Cefalù is a fine example of a medieval town with narrow streets and elaborate architecture surrounding a 12th century Norman Cathedral built in the reign of Roger II. You’ll have time to visit the Cathedral, where you can admire the fine interior and mosaics. This town is best explored on foot, so you’ll leave your coach for a guided walking tour through the labyrinth of streets flanked by colourful shops full of antiques and ceramics.
Take some time out on your own for shopping in Cefalù or discover more of this enchanting town. Alternatively, you may wish to enjoy a frothy cappuccino or ice cream in one of the quaint cafés and do a spot of people watching.
Your tour will begin and end with a scenic drive along the south east coast via the motorway presenting views of the ocean and mountains on each side.
