Cefalù
A picturesque coastal town in Sicily known for its Norman cathedral, sandy beaches, and medieval streets nestled at the foot of a rocky promontory.
Tips from the community
Your expeditions around Sicily come to an end at beguiling little Cefalu. Part small fishing town, part grand Norman-Moorish citadel, it fuses the rustic and the historic.
Take in the grandeur of the Mudejar-infused Cefalu Cathedral in the city and delve inside to be wowed by Byzantine murals picked out in gold leaf. Then, make for the shoreline. Cefalu literally spills straight into the Med. There’s a rocky beachfront just meters from the old town, where seafood trattoria and paint-peeling boats bob on light-blue waves.

A sea destination just a short drive from Palermo, Cefalù is a small town famed for its medieval centro storico and an imposing Norman cathedral with beautiful mosaics. Dotted with souvenir shops and restaurants, the narrow streets of Cefalù pulse with life. This picturesque town is also home to one of the best beaches in all of Sicily.
