Cattedrale di Monreale

You will be dropped off in Piazza Guglielmo II. Here you can visit the beautiful cathedral of Monreale. It has been included in the list of UNESCO world heritage sites and is considered one of the most important medieval churches in the world. The mosaics of the cathedral are something simply unique and perfect. It is also possible to access, for a fee, different areas of the cathedral, such as the terraces. Adjacent to the cathedral is the monastery of San Benedetto. The cloister of the monastery has a square plan in Romanesque style, characterized by more than 90 columns decorated with mosaics and Romanesque capitals. In the center of the cloister there is a garden, with a fountain in the shape of a palm tree from which water flows. Also near the cathedral is the interesting diocesan museum. From Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II you can see the Duomo and admire the famous marble fountain called Fontana del Tritone. Don't miss the Belvedere!

Cefalu

The itinerary to see Cefalù starts from Lungomare Giuseppe Giardina and follows it to the beginning of via Vittorio Emanuele, where the houses begin. From here a walk through the small narrow streets, the ancient houses, the little shops, the restaurants and the ice cream parlors. Halfway along Via Vittorio Emanuele is the medieval wash house, which is accessed via a lava stone staircase. Continuing beyond the wash house, you arrive at Porta Pescara, an opening from which you can see the sea. Shortly after Porta della Pescara on your left you will find Piazza Marina with the pier of the old port. From the old port you can see the most fascinating part of Cefalù: the houses with balconies directly overlooking the sea. Continuing on the main street, Corso Ruggero, after a few meters you will find yourself in the town hall square in front of which you can see the Cathedral of Cefalù. In addition to the village, Cefalù can boast one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily with white sand and crystal clear waters.
