We LOVED Cefalu. So glad we stayed two nights as opposed to one - we almost wish we did a third. The beach was wonderful - sandy and calm waters. We also hiked to the top of La Rocca - beautiful hike, worth going all the way up for the views and to see the ancient sites. We also loved the little town for shopping and dining. Here you will find higher quality shops for gifts and take home items. They had great Sicilian restaurants, and the Duomo and Piazza were lovely to enjoy at night for a drink, gelato or people watching. We enjoyed this so much more than Siracusa.

Çefalu is delightful. A very laid back atmosphere. Beautiful views of the coastline and a beautiful little town. Plenty of places to have a drink and eat and many restaurants with sea views. Well worth a trip if you're based in Palermo.

We loved Cefalu. It is a nice seaside town with plenty of food options, shopping and steeped in history. Locals are friendly and it’s a great place to watch the world go by. It’s incredibly hot and crowded in August but when you’re on holidays it doesn’t seem to bother you. We would definitely stay in Cefalu again if given the opportunity.

We took a day trip out here from Palermo. It’s easy enough to get to by train. We spent a few hours at the beach, and rented some chairs at one of the beach clubs. In October, the beach is lovely and not too crowded. Then, we walked through the town to see the Roman laundry and the old walls. All in all a great way to escape the chaos of Palermo for a day, and a really cute town that’s super manageable to plan on your own as a day trip.

We took a short train from Palermo and stayed for two nights. Loved every minute. Such a beautiful and quaint place, plenty of food and dessert options. The beaches are clean and lovely, albeit a little busy in the summer. Cannot wait to go back
