Sicily Walking Tour Itinerary
Day 1
The Sicily walking tour starts in Palermo, the capital of Sicily, which is pressed between mountains and the sea, a striking setting for what must be one of the most exotic cities in Europe. Its architecture and culture reflect the extraordinarily rich fabric of its past. Our accommodation for the first two nights is in an elegant 4-star hotel in the lively commercial centre of Palermo. After pre-dinner drinks in the hotel, we'll have a light dinner in a neighboring restaurant. (Dinner)
Day 2
Early morning walking tour of the hidden treasures in the centre of Palermo before exploring the winding lanes of Palermo's celebrated markets, with lunch in a traditional osteria. In the afternoon we finish our tour with a visit to the famous Norman Palace and its spectacular mosaics (3 hrs). The evening is free. (Lunch)
Day 3
From the bustle and intensity of Sicily's largest city, we drive into the mountainous interior to the green tranquillity of the island's second largest national park. On the way we will visit the dazzling medieval cathedral of Monreale, perched high above Palermo and the lovely seaside resort of Cefalu. Our base for the next four nights will be in a restored patrician palazzo with all the mod-cons tucked away in the centre of probably the most interesting and best preserved village of the area, in the shadow of the national park. Dinner will be at a nearby restaurant. (Dinner)
Day 4
The first walk of the tour (10 kms, 3.5 hrs) takes you into the heart of the Madonie National Park for a beautiful high mountain walk (13 kms, 3.5 hrs) finishing in at a small fortified town, perched on the edge of the park, that was the original seat of the area's feudal lords. After a light lunch, we'll explore this beautifully sited town before returning to our base. (Lunch/dinner).
