Your Itinerary

Duomo Di Monreale

Pick up by your private Guide Driver at your hotel. Board a Premium Mercedes vehicle and head to MONREALE for a guided tour of the Cathedral which is the apotheosis of Norman architecture in Sicily. Featuring a cathedral with its splendid mosaics from the 12th century, it is part of the World Heritage Arab Norman Period, built under William II. It rivals Saint Sophia in Istanbul and Saint Mark's in Venice in its use of decorative mosaics. While it is Romanesque style largely, the cathedral combines aspects of Arab, Byzantine and Norman architecture.

Cefalu Coast

(Pass by)

Next drive towards the Madonie National Park and reach the town of CEFALU’. Once a typical fishing village, now a major destination for tourists in the area.

Cefalu

During a stroll through the characteristic streets, visit the ancient medieval washhouse and the Norman-style Cefalu Cathedral built in the 12th century. The mosaics inside the cathedral are remarkable examples of the Byzantine art of the period. The sturdy Norman lines of the Cathedral are softened by palm trees, and tourists fill the city hall piazza before it. The Arab-Norman architecture of Sicily is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a lunch break at one of the many restaurants in town. At the end of the tour, you will be brought back to your hotel in Palermo.
