5.00We had a wonderful day visiting Castelbuono and Cefalu with Cristian. Even before we’d left Palermo Cristian was pointing out highlights for us to see. On the very comfortable drive Cristian explained how life had changed in the various towns we passed through giving us a good insight into the area’s past and present. The old town in Castelbuono is lovely and so relaxing after the hustle and bustle of Palermo. Cristian walked us through the atmospheric old town stopping for us to sample local specialties. We then visited the beautiful medieval castle which is well worth a visit. We then drove on to Cefalu. At this time of the year Cefalu is a busy, busy seaside town and the beach was packed. A walk up and down the narrow main street before a well earned lunch along the beachfront. Cristian was a marvellous guide. Always helpful and keen to share his love of Sicily and its culture. This is a must-do tour especially if you want to see more than Palermo.
