Excursions to the Gorges of Tiberius

The Gorges of Tiberius, site Geopark recognized by UNESCO, are located along the river Pollina in the Madonie Park in the San Mauro Castelverde. Gole, about 400 meters long and as high as up to 50 meters, are made up of limestone rocks formed in the upper Triassic.

The visit to the Gorges of Tiberius is a trip back in time, in a wild and unknown accessible to all, but recommended only to those who truly love the unspoiled nature, silence and live a unique sensory experience to discover a primordial world dating back some 200 million years ago a completely preserved even today, as very few other places in the world, where the changing seasons and plasma model the surrounding ecosystem.

Visiting the Gorges means discovering fossils of gastropods, the many bird nests also just inches from the water, the numerous caves once inhabited by bandits and legends related to them and to the place, that of the famous Miricu, the Truatura and Monster, the play of light that are created between the water and the walls, the contrast between the warm winds outside and cool inside, and if you are lucky, even the eagle in flight.

Lavatoio Medievale

The Lavatoio Medievale

The Lavatoio Medievale is a point of interest in Cefalu that cannot be missed, as it’s one of the many historical landmarks that one can visit throughout the region. The story behind the Lavatoio Medievale is an ancient one, as this is the area where the women would come to wash and rinse their family’s clothing during ancient times many centuries ago.

It’s also a very refreshing spot to stand and watch the water fill up the small pools, and just imagine what life was like back then. This gorgeous historical point of interest is easily accessed by walking, and is away from the sun’s unrelenting rays. From there, the water flows into a small channel and enters the sea. From a historical standpoint, the Lavatoio Medievale is a picturesque place to be. The sweeping steps that lead down to this ancient, but so beautiful, landmark has trees that literally come out of the steps, and are a guide to another world.

If you would like to stay awhile in this area, there is even a restaurant located near the stairs that has a decent view of the sea, and great food. This attraction is perfect for those who love to visit historical landmarks, and will even entertain the children because of the small pools of water.

Ti Vitti Restaurant

This up and coming restaurant interestingly enough is named after a traditional Sicilian card game, and is run by Vincenzo Collara. The pasta, cannoli and fish dishes that are cooked up at this restaurant are unlike any other, and are created using nothing but the freshest ingredients from the local market.

The menu at the Ti Vitti is based on what is in season, such as swordfish and some of the special treats that are sourced locally, such as the basilisco mushrooms that come from the Monte Madonie. During the winter time, the menu at the Ti Vitti is down to three secondi, three primi and three antipasti, which is all extremely fresh based on what is available at the local market during that day. The Ti Vitti proposes typical Sicilian dishes that are traditional through their tastes and colors.

The name, Ti Vitti, comes from the traditional Sicilian card game, “vitti you get on and off”, which is inspired from the Sicilian dialect that means “I saw you”. The game is played by trying to get one of the players to break a rule, such as speaking, and is a game that is usually taught to children.

To inquire further about their menu, or about what’s in season, you can visit their website at ristorantetivitti.com, or call them at 39 0921 921571.

Al Faro restaurant

The Al Faro is one of Cefalu’s many hidden gems, as you will only see it clearly if you walk along the coastline towards the lighthouse, which is the restaurant itself. This amazing restaurant is just a ten minute walk down the coast, and provides seats that are outside of the restaurant itself, right by the sea, to have a quiet, romantic atmosphere to it.

The main dishes that are offered at the Al Faro are seafood cuisine, all locally caught and prepared fresh, which are available for a reasonable price. One of the waiters, Mimmo, who is favored by tourists and locals alike, is always ready with menus in hand. One of the favorites that is served at the Al Faro, one of the appetizers, is the grilled pecorino cheese that comes with a delicious cherry topping. Some of the noted seafood that is nothing but authentic, are the squid carpaccios and all of the fish that can be ordered. The Al Faro also serves amazing pastas, not just seafood, such as the homemade pasta with mushrooms and shrimp.

 

If you are unable to reach the Al Faro by the coast; however, it’s a simple walk straight out of the center of town, and is very easily accessed if you are in a car. Unlike the majority of the restaurants in town, you can reach the Al Faro by car. The best time to visit is right before the sun sets because of the tables that overlook the ocean, and will create the best ambiance if you are visiting the restaurant with your sweetheart.

 

The Al Faro is one of Cefalu’s prized gems that everyone absolutely loves, and is one that everyone should discover. You can give them a call at +39. 0921 424409 to inquire about their menu.  More

The small location that is tucked in between a little crook in a hill right close to Cefalu in Sicily is fabulous.  Only five kilometres away from Cefalu, it’s a chance to walk into what seems like a completely different century.

belvedere+di+sant+ambrogio

Cefalu offers you beauty of a fishing port that is ancient with wonderful cathedrals that are Romanesque in design.  However, it’s full of tourist, and getting much busier.  Sant’Ambrogio is not at all, in fact the life in this little location is much the same as it was in the last 500 years.  Where you can still find old man sitting on the beach in rows, while wives are sitting gossiping on the steps of their houses.

While the girls will watch the boys from afar acting as if they are not even noticing you, the boys pose around their vehicles!  You will find the priest who is going across the piazza on his way to work, while the cats walk in the alleys.

It’s often touted as a real “experience”, and if you want to see it, stop by this little village.  It may not be this way for long where you can view olive trees, pines and fruit trees among a rural setting.  But there are so many fabulous things to see in Sant’Ambrogio, it’s really a stop you should take to view for yourself!
