Excursión ciclista de un día de Cefalú a Palermo

Set off from the charming seaside town of Cefalù, with its striking Norman cathedral and winding medieval streets. Leaving the Mediterranean behind, your route winds through the Sicilian hills on mostly quiet roads, with a fair bit of ascent—so be ready for some climbs! The scenery alternates between olive groves, little villages, and occasional sea views, with the max elevation just over 350 meters.

You’ll encounter a mix of surfaces, but you’ll mostly stick to paved and asphalt roads, with small stretches of gravel thrown in. It’s a route that offers both tranquility (74% quiet roads!) and some adventure off the beaten path. After about 97 kilometers, you’ll roll into Palermo, Sicily’s vibrant, history-packed capital. Explore its Arab-Norman architecture, famous street food, and lively markets to reward yourself after a ride well done!
