Hop on the coach at the stop closest to your hotel in Cefalù and start your full day tour. Reach in around 1 hour Monreale and visit the Cathedral, one of the most refined Arab-Norman buildings. Here the the interior walls are all decorated with golden mosaics that represent the scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Above all there is the immense image of Christ Pantocrator. The Cathedral is next to the magnificent cloister with ogival arches supported by twin columns, alternately decorated with mosaics. Entrance fees are not included.

Then continue towards Palermo. Start with a guided tour of Palermo’s Cathedral. Later discover one of Palermo’s famous open air markets called “Capo”, where you will have a degustation of the real Sicilian Street Food. This lively market is a blend of general confusion and a jumble of vendors’ stalls, winding toward the old gate of what used to be the city wall.

Free time for lunch, shopping, for a taste of the typical ice-cream or to discover the historical center, with its magnificent buildings in Byzantine, Arab-Norman and Baroque architecture, for example: Four Corners, Pretoria Square, Martorana Church and external visit of the Massimo Opera Theatre.

In the afternoon, panoramic tour and visit of the Capuchin’s Catacomb, renowned for the thousands of mummies inside. Entrance fees are not included.

Return to Cefalù in the afternoon at around 6pm.
