Set off for an optional excursion to Cefalu, where you’ll enjoy a walking tour. This enchanting fishing village and summertime resort sits on a rocky outcrop in the center of Sicily’s north coast. A perfect town for strolling, Cefalu is close to beaches and the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Greeks thought the rocky outcrop, the Rocca, resembled a head—kephalos in Greek—thus, the name of the town. Cefalu lies in a scenic locale between the massive peak and a long sweeping beach. Against this backdrop rise the lofty twin towers of the cathedral built by Roger II in 1130. This splendid cathedral is one of the finest examples of Arab-Norman architecture, and contains luminous mosaics. After the tour, enjoy a special included lunch at a traditional restaurant.
