Days 1-3 Palermo<br />
Start your journey in Palermo, a port city with a fabulous fusion of<br />
cultures. Once you’re settled in, you can roam around the plentiful<br />
ancient markets as you tuck into Sicilian street food delights like<br />
arancini, cannoli, and sfincione, or take in the whimsy of a Sicilian<br />
puppet show. Head to the terracotta rooftops of the centro storico and<br />
explore the soaring 12th century Cattedrale di Palermo, which, like<br />
Palermo itself, has been shaped by centuries of influence. By night,<br />
lose yourself in a little alleyway trattoria, or head to the renowned<br />
Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele for an elegant evening of opera.<br />
Suggested Stay: Palco Rooms & Suites<br />
Days 4-6 Cefalù<br />
Days 6-11 Taormina<br />
On your sixth morning, it’s time to travel to your final destination, the<br />
beautiful medieval hilltop town of Taormina, located a two and a half<br />
hour drive away on Sicily’s east coast. Embrace the coastal lifestyle,<br />
with watersports or boat trips to the grottos tucked away in the<br />
sparkling Ionian Sea. The main street of the town, Corso Umberto,<br />
is home to many interesting shops, while there are many historic<br />
treasures to discover, such as the pretty gardens of Villa Comunale,<br />
Palazzo Corvaja, and a most impressive ancient Greek amphitheatre.<br />
You have plenty of time to explore the environs of Taormina too, and we<br />
recommend you walk or take the cable car up to the majestic volcano<br />
Mount Etna, or take day trips to Syracuse and the UNESCO World<br />
Heritage site of Ragusa.<br />
On your fourth morning, take the leisurely hour’s drive along the<br />
beautiful coast to Cefalù, perhaps stopping to soak in the Sicilian<br />
sunshine en route. If you leave Palermo in good time, you might like to<br />
take a short detour to La Rocca, a town named for its head-shaped<br />
hilly rock with ancient Greek remains that afford breathtaking panoramic<br />
views. Once settled in Cefalù, embrace the breezy culture of Lungomare<br />
Beach, breaking up time on the sands with exploring the pedestrianised<br />
streets of quaint Cefalù’s Old Town, or grabbing a refreshment or<br />
seafood lunch at the café-lined promenade. Take a day trip to Caccamo<br />
to witness a dramatic 11th century Norman castle. You might also like<br />
to visit Nebrodi National Park, a vast and inviting mountain range a<br />
couple of hour’s drive away, which is ideal for hiking through magical,<br />
unspoilt landscapes, and boasts fewer visitors than<br />
the popular Madonie Mountains.<br />
Suggested Stay: Victoria Palace Hotel<br />
Suggested Stay: Hotel Villa Belvedere<br />
