Palermo, Monreale and Bagheria - Excursions from Port

Palermo is the capital and most important city of Sicily, it is in fact the administrative center and main tourist attraction of the island. During this tour we will focus on the most important part of the capital that is its medieval area, where it will be possible to visit the splendid Baroque and Arab-Norman sites of the city. The Cathedral is also a must: a magnificent and imposing building that stands on the ruins of the ancient cathedral; it was transformed into a mosque by the Arabs and rededicated to Christian worship by the Norman kings. Then we will reach the village of Monreale driving along a beautiful road that climbs the slopes of the Conca D'Oro. The Baroque Cathedral of Monreale, built during the Norman domination, will leave you enchanted. We will leave Monreale and go back to Palermo for a short walk along the colorful alleys of the "Vucciria" market, the largest in Palermo. If time remains, we will move to Bagheria to visit the incredible villa of the Mysteries.
