Meet your driver in Palermo and head for the fascinating city center. Sicily is a melting pot for many travelers and migrants who sailed through the Mediterranean to settle down in the scenic Italian island, and their influence can be seen all over. The yelling pitchmen in the old markets, the imposing Baroque churches, and the beauty of the medieval Arab city will certainly cast a spell on every visitor.
At the end of the panoramic tour, you will depart for Monreale to visit its astonishing cathedral and cloister, which was built in XIII century and houses one of the richest and most beautiful golden mosaics in Western Europe. En route to Cefalù, you'll stop at Principe di Corleone Estate for a lunch that features locally-grown products as well as a wine tasting. After arriving at Cefalù, the remainder of the day is at your disposal.

Traces of the medieval city are to be seen in the public wash house, which was in use up until the first half of 20th century. You are free to spend the rest of the day as you please.
