We\u2019re home! This is the simple sentence that characterizes Madonie.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Day 1: Arrival in Catania or Palermo<\/strong><\/p>

In order to visit Madonie, you can land in Palermo as well as Catania. We will pick you up at the airport and bring you to the booked hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Day 2: Arab-Norman Palermo<\/strong><\/p>

We will cross Maqueda Street with our guide and reach the Quattro Canti (Four Corners)<\/strong>: break and explanation. In the same area we will find Piazza Pretoria<\/strong>, San Cataldo<\/strong>\u2019s church and Martorana<\/strong>\u2019s church. We will stop in order to explain each attraction.<\/p>

Then, we will walk through Vittorio Emanuele Street, also named Cassaro (from the Arabic name Al Qasar<\/em>). Here, it is mandatory to stop and visit the unknown but fascinating church of SS. Salvatore<\/strong>, a truly unique building.<\/p>

We will therefore head towards the Normans\u2019 Palace (Royal Palace). <\/strong>This Palace was built on the remains of Palermo\u2019s first Punic settlements. Under Roger II\u2019s reign, a beautiful chapel was built inside the Palace, the Palatine Chapel.<\/p>

In the afternoon, our chauffer will pick us up and drive us to Monreale<\/strong>. Its Dome, dedicated to Santa Marina Nuova (the Virgin Mary), is coated in golden mosaic, realized between the 12th<\/sup> and the 13th<\/sup> century.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Day 3: Sicily between Africa and Magna Grecia<\/strong><\/p>

In the morning we will take you to Himera to show you the remains of the Temple of Victory. Subsequently, we will head towards Scillato, where we will introduce you to a cultivation of organic products.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Day 4: Madonie<\/strong><\/p>

Today we will explore the Madonie Nature Reserve and delve into the authentic soul of Sicily, made of territory and people. We will savour the desserts Manna and Mannettino in Castelbuono, we will meet the Ventimiglia family and their agritourism that will offer us Madonie\u2019s best products. Finally, we will take you to the most beautiful part of this territory \u2013 Cefal\u00f9, a charming and romantic seaside town.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Day 5: Returning home<\/strong><\/p>
