Cefalù & Monreale Experience: full-day semi-private tour from Palermo

Your day begins in Cefalù, a postcard-perfect fishing town known for its sandy beach, Norman Cathedral, and winding medieval streets. Spend your morning as you wish — wander through the historic center, swim in turquoise waters, or join an optional 3-hour coastal cruise featuring swimming stops, snorkeling gear, and a refreshing aperitivo served on board. However you choose to spend your time, Cefalù’s coastal elegance and relaxed rhythm will capture your heart.

After the morning’s adventures, take time to enjoy Cefalù at your own pace. Savor lunch by the sea (not included), stroll through charming alleys lined with artisan shops, or simply relax and soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere. This is your moment to experience the true soul of Sicily — where history, food, and slow living meet.

In the afternoon, journey inland to Monreale, a masterpiece of Arab-Norman architecture. With your included audioguide, explore the breathtaking Cathedral of Monreale — a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its luminous golden mosaics and intricate craftsmanship. Learn about the unique blend of cultures that shaped Sicily’s art and history before returning to Palermo in comfort, carrying unforgettable memories of this day filled with culture, sea, and beauty.
