Cefalu is a medieval town 75 kilometers east of Palermo built on the site of an ancient Sicanian and Greek settlement. Nestled between the Madonie Mountains and the sea, the view from the summit is inspiring. Seaside town beneath a steep mountain, Cefalu has a beach, narrow and medieval streets overlooking a rocky coast. It is a important town not only for the beauty of the sea landscape but also for the magnificent Norman-Arab-Byzantine cathedral - one of the greatest churches of southern Europe with its famous mosaics - and the Mandralisca Museum.
Then, you continue towards Castelbuono, a charming locality about 25 kilometers from Cefalu. Castelbuono is a rustic and little medieval village in an attractive wooded location of the Madonie Mountains, where the castle dominates the whole of the little town and the small valley. It boasts a castle - which has vestiges of medieval architecture - once owned by the Ventimiglia family, feudal lords of several towns in the area. Time permitting it may be possible for a short visit to "Santo Stefano di Camastra", one of the most important Sicilian ceramics' town with Caltagirone, Monreale and Sciacca.
