Tour Highlights

We'll meet at the train station in Cefalù at the designated time to begin the tour of the main attractions in the Sicilian city. The tour will start from Porta Terra, providing an introduction to the origins of Cefalù, where we can observe the walls of the 4th century BC.

Next, we will explore the historic center of Cefalù, walking along Corso Ruggero, the main avenue, where ancient craft stores and noble residences, such as the Osterio Magno, can be seen.

We will visit the medieval washing area from the Arab period, featuring basins still filled with water from the Cefalino River.

The tour will take us to the Marina, passing through Porta Pescara to see the fishing district, used in films like Nuovo Cinema Paradiso and Indiana Jones.

Afterward, we will go to Piazza del Duomo and enter the Cathedral Basilica of Cefalù, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to admire its Byzantine mosaics. The tour will conclude in the Norman quarter of Francavilla after two hours.
