Depart from Palermo and journey along the awe-inspiring Tyrrhenian coast to Cefalù, a true gem of the Mediterranean. As you meander through the narrow lanes of the medieval old town, you'll find yourself at the grand Fortress-Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), renowned for its exquisite Byzantine mosaics. During your leisure time, feel free to explore the charming ancient harbour, capture the medieval washhouse etched into the rock, peruse local craft shops, or simply unwind on the sun-kissed beach.
In the afternoon, your adventure continues inland, climbing the verdant slopes of Mount Caputo towards Monreale. Here, you'll have the opportunity to visit its splendid Cathedral: an architectural wonder boasting over 6,000 square metres of pure gold-leaf mosaics, presided over by the commanding Christ Pantocrator. You'll also get a chance to appreciate the beautiful Benedictine Cloister and step out onto the viewpoint for some truly spectacular panoramic views over the Conca d'Oro and Palermo.
This tour is ideal for those seeking the convenience of arranged transport while still retaining complete freedom to discover these treasures at their own pace before heading back to the city.
