tom_uk Posted May 2, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We were there on MSC Sinfonia in May 2005, and we did a ship's excursion to Cefalu, on the coast. It was nice little place, with an undeveloped beach. Here are some pictures:- http://www.*****/travelpage/aspgallery/view_ad.asp?Ad_ID=1927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted May 2, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We're going to try the HOHO bus, as I couldn't find much else online. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgans Posted May 2, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Cefalu is lovely - better for children than dragging them through a busy city which Palermo is. At Cefalu there is a gorgeous market place right in the centre with a small but attractive beach which you can visit. There are some delightful shops which have a good choice of souvenirs - try the marzipan cakes/sweets. Sit and watch the locals while you have a drink with a piece of cassata cake which is heaven. Cefalu is a pretty little town and well worth a visit. It's about 50 mins from Palermo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqq266 Posted May 24, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have been trying to research Palermo as well and came across this website: http://www.seepalermo.com/index.htm I haven't had the time to explore what the site has to offer yet. Hopefully it will be fruitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
