Palermo, Monreale and Cefalù are some of the most beautiful cities in Sicily and even in Italy. Enjoy this private tour of Palermo, Monreale and Cefalù from Palermo in comfort in a private luxury vehicle with driver and official tour guide. Palermo is known as the touristic and economic capital of the Sicily region. It was founded by the Phoenicians and later conquered by the Greeks. The city had its best time under the arab domination (9 to 11th centuries A.D). Later, the Normans conquered the city and destroyed many of the mosques and palaces. Monreale is an Italian municipality in the province of Palermo. This charming town is one of the most visited in the whole of Sicily. It is the perfect place to relax and also to enjoy the wonderful nature and architecture that characterises this town. Cefalù is an ancient and small town also located in the province of Palermo. This town is also known as the “Norman citadel” due to the Norman domination it suffered for several years.

Begin at the Temple of Juno, where a sacrificial altar, chariot-worn stone and fire-scarred walls recall the Carthaginian siege of 406 BCE, and from the hilltop take in sweeping views across the myth-steeped Valley of the Temples before pausing at a nearby café. Follow the City Walls Promenade—lined with wildflowers, artifacts and transport models—for panoramic perspectives on the valley’s infrastructure, then admire the nearly intact 5th-century Temple of Concordia with its embedded 6th-century church. Descend into the Paleochristian Necropolis, where you will come across some 130 tombs—open-air graves, arcosols, sarcophagi and early catacombs—then stroll the tranquil gardens of Aurea Villa, visit the nine pillars of the Temple of Hercules, and conclude at the monumental remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a final testament to Akragas’s ancient wealth and ambition.
