About This Tour in Sicily

Leave Palermo behind for a full-day small-group tour combining Sicily’s sea, culture, and UNESCO heritage. Travel in comfort along the coast to Cefalù, a medieval seaside town of winding alleys, sandy beaches, and a stunning Norman cathedral. Here you can choose your own experience: join an optional 3-hour boat trip with swimming, snorkeling, and a Sicilian aperitivo on board (weather permitting), or enjoy free time exploring Cefalù’s historic center and relaxing on the beach. In the afternoon, continue to Monreale, home to one of Sicily’s greatest treasures. Visit the Monreale Cathedral with your included audioguide and admire its golden Arab-Norman mosaics that glitter in the light. Return to Palermo in the evening with memories of turquoise waters, medieval streets, and dazzling art. This tour offers the perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and cultural discovery.
