Best Cefalu Tours & Trips

Perched along Sicily’s northern coast, Cefalù charms visitors with its golden pebble beach framed by dramatic rocky outcrops and clear turquoise waters. Dominating the skyline, the imposing Norman Cathedral with its dazzling 12th-century mosaics draws art and history lovers, while the winding cobblestone lanes of the old town lead to hidden piazzas and artisan shops. A hike up La Rocca offers panoramic views over terracotta rooftops and the Tyrrhenian Sea - a rewarding trek ending at a natural rock pool. Enjoy freshly caught seafood by the harbor, or sip granita at a cafe near Porta Garibaldi, once the medieval gateway to the town. Its blend of cultural depth and coastal beauty makes Cefalù a standout Sicilian escape.

9-Day Sicily Sightseeing Tour from Palermo: Taormina and Ragusa | 1 Country and 10 Cities | 8 Breakfasts, 4 Dinners

Bus Cruise of Sicily .. Colours of Sicily

Our Colours of Sicily trip was one of our best travel experiences in decades of traveling. We would recommend it to anyone interested in Italy, the history of Sicily, and the stunning surrounding countryside that reflects the history, culture, geology, horticulture, and geography of Southern Italy. Not to mention the highlight of it all—the delicious Sicilian cuisine! Our Tour Director and the tour guides he arranged were fantastic. They went out of their way to look after us and ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves.
