Medieval villages in Sicily: a tour among castles and historic villages with bus rental

Sicily is not only crystal-clear sea and breathtaking beaches, but also a land rich in history, culture and traditions. Among its wonders are the medieval villages, small jewels set among hills and mountains, where time seems to stand still.

Organising a tour of the Sicilian villages with bus rental is the ideal way to discover the most authentic Sicily, without stress and with maximum comfort. Relying on a chauffeur-driven transfer service, such as that offered by SAIS Autolinee, allows you to visit even the most hidden places in total safety and comfort.

‍Medieval Villages to Discover

Here are some of Sicily's most charming medieval villages that should not be missed on a cultural itinerary:

Erice

Situated on a mountain 750 metres above sea level, Erice retains its medieval charm intact. Its cobbled streets weave between ancient churches, flower-filled courtyards and craft workshops. The Castle of Venus, built by the Normans, dominates the landscape, offering spectacular views of the Egadi Islands and the Trapani coastline. Perfect to visit on a bus tour, Erice is also famous for its confectionery tradition, with the famous Erice Genoese.

Cefalù

Famous for its imposing Norman cathedral, a UNESCO heritage site, Cefalù is a perfect blend of history and natural beauty. Strolling through the medieval alleyways, one discovers craft shops, the Medieval Lavatoio and an enchanting coastline. A coach trip with a local guide allows you to explore the village in every detail, without logistical worries.

Castelmola

Suspended above Taormina, Castelmola offers spectacular views of Mount Etna and the bay of Giardini Naxos. Its medieval castle, small squares and historic bars make this village an ideal destination for those seeking authenticity. With bus rental in Sicily, Castelmola is also easily accessible for large groups, such as school classes or company groups.
