Cefalù and Castelbuono with Wine Experience from Palermo

To start the experience, you will be greeted at your Palermo hotel. After 1 hour of driving on the highway with a suggestive sea view, you will travel for around 30 minutes on curvy roads up to reach Catelbuono, a charming locality in an attractive wooded location at 500 mt. above sea level, it belongs to the protected reserve “Madonie Mountains Park”. Castelbuono (literally “good castle”) has vestiges of medieval architecture. Visit the village and stop at one of the typical bars to taste a pastry made with Sicilian “manna”.

Then travel to Cefalù, a gorgeous town located on the northern coast of Sicily and one of the major tourist attractions in the region. Built on a promontory dominated by a sheer cliff, Cefalù, still keeping its ancient print, has grown around the Cathedral wanted by Ruggero II. The Cathedral, which began in 1131, is one of the most interesting medieval monuments of the island and boasts outstanding mosaics and a wonderful cloister. A large part of the town is pedestrian. Stroll through the medieval narrow street and admire the picturesque houses by the sea and the long beach of fine sand.

This tour also includes a wine tasting paired with a light lunch. At the end, the driver will bring you back to the hotel.
