Cefalu is located right in the
middle of the northern coast of Sicily. It is, therefore, an ideal
departure point for those who, as well as attending an Italian course,
would like to discover and explore the wonderful artistic and natural
beauties of Sicily. Excursions to the most famous and attractive sites
in Sicily eg. Etna, Taormina, Agrigento, Palermo, etc, can be arranged
in collaboration with a local travel agency Kefa Reisen.
The school organises a range of excursions that take you off the beaten
track, allow you to discover the soul of Sicily and give you a real
understanding of our people and country.

- Discover Cefalu:
one of the teachers of our Italian language school will take you
around, explain the history of the town, its traditions and monuments
and show you its characteristic hidden corners.
- A chat with local
people: An afternoon together in town to
meet an old fisherman who will tell us about local fishing and show us
how to make fishing nets and pots for lobsters or other fish;
visit a ceramics workshop to see how the ceramics are made; visit the
workshop of a weaver who will show you how she works on her loom.
- Watch an Italian
video or film: once a week at school.
- An evening out: an
evening at a local bar with students and staff.
- Let's make bread:
knead and bake bread in the country as a guest of a Sicilian family.
- Prepare together a
Sicilian dinner at a friend's house and then... buon appetito!
- Away from the hustle
and bustle: an excursion to the Madonie mountains in the very
heart of Sicily with lunch in a mountain refuge and a walk through an
ancient oak wood from where you can enjoy breathtaking views: from the
smoking top of mount Etna to the Aeolian islands on the far horizon.
- Visit a wine cellar
and sample Sicilian wine.
- A boat trip
with a local fisherman along the beautiful coastline of northern Sicily
discovering bays, small beaches and coves.

You can hire a bike but also take part in bike tours along the coastal
routes of Sicily, or across the protected area of the Parco Naturale
delle Madonie. Solitary roads and tracks immersed in a wild landscape,
old sleepy villages on the top of the mountains and ...many others. And
as a reward for the effort the most dramatic and breathtaking scenery:
the smoking top of Mount Etna, the mountainous horizon, the deep blue
of the sea and the outlying Aeolian Islands. Tours for beginners are
also available.

We look forward to welcoming you in Cefalu
