Sicily In A Day: Departure From Taormina Or Catania To Messina-Palermo-Cefalu'

Sicily Airport Transfer offers a trip to the western region along the north coast from the east coast of Sicily missing the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Through nature, history and art, it brings you a splendid landscape marked by green mountains and the deep blue sea.

Starting directly from your hotel in Catania or Taormina with our vehicles, we will drive for an hour to Messina. By a horrible earthquake in 1908, almost all are totally destroyed but Messina still managed to preserve some beautiful traces of its past, such as ornate fountains and buildings that remind the Spanish domination. Here, credit goes to our drivers who are opened minded to give various suggestions. You can visit with walking the small and pleasant historical center, a main shopping area full of elegant shops, and the attractive Cathedral square, with its characteristically bell tower - the biggest mechanical and astronomical clock in the world.
After that, we will drive into the hills for a last, magical look across the Straits.

After the visit to Messina, staying there for two hours, we will drive for about an hour and half to Cefalù along the Tyrrhenian Sea where you can see the amazing Aeolian Islands. As per our suggestion you will visit by walking the delightful fishing town of Cefalu with its medieval pebble-stone streets, the old public òlavatory, which is still functioning, and the outstanding monument in town, the Arab-Norman Cathedral which was the burial place of Roger II and his family. This monument shows a very exciting blend of different styles: Arabic, Byzantine, Romanesque and Baroque.
The frontage of the main church is bordered by two massive bell-towers and preceded by a porch from the 15th century. Inside, we respect the Christ Pantocrator made with the mosaic technique. Cefalu is also renowned for its attractive beaches where in the summer you could enjoy an energizing splash.

After visiting Cefalu, in the afternoon, we will take you back to Palermo to your hotel.
