A Farewell to Sicily

After spending a relaxing day yesterday visiting the local beach area of Giardini Naxos, we went back to the hotel to relax, launder and repack.

Giardini Naxos:

Our last day included visits to the hilltop medieval village of Castelbuono and its interesting church, particularly the original church in the cellar:

We saw the Strait of Messina and Calabrese in the distance before we drove to Cefalu - yet another old town centre of narrow cobbled streets. The square outside the cathedral was a nice place to stop and have gelati, cassata and granita:

So it is now time to say our goodbyes to Sicily as we head for Rome early tomorrow.
