Today we travelled from Naxos to Palermo via Cefalú
Seafront from our hotel
Evidence of an ancient lava flow on the Naxos seafront and views to Taormina on the adjoining rocky outcrop
Mainly travelling in the interior today - much drier - vineyards, orange orchards and wheat fields - and hilltop town of Enna.
The very popular seaside town of Cefalú
Entering the former walled town
The Byzantine/ Norman duomo is in the main piazza
It is renown for its mosaics but is unfortunately under renovations at the moment. We had a glimpse of the quality of the mosaics in picture form around the church.
We wandered from the main thoroughfare down the narrow streets to the beach. Lots of ceramics and tourist trade.
A seafood lunch and Capresi salad at one of the many seafood restaurants
One of the characters in this group is an Iranian/American dad travelling with his long-suffering son and daughter-in-law. He sees himself as star quality and every single photo he has taken in the last six days has been a selfie. ‘So he remembers where he was’ I couldn’t resist one with him for the record.
Another fellow found this great t-shirt which sums up so much of the history being discussed this week.
Fish farewell dinner in a seaside village under Monte Margherita near Palermo. A happy evening to conclude our tour.
