Get around
Cefalu is small enough to get around on foot.
See
- The attractive Cathedral (Duomo) dominates the centre of town.
- Wander around the atmospheric old town streets.
- Visit the pretty harbour - Piazza Marina.
- Relax on the beach - one of the best in Sicily. Keep in mind that the beach is divided into different sections, some with umbrellas and beach chairs set up that you can rent. The price, from about 8 to 15 euros, decreases the further you walk along the beach.
Do
- Climb The Rock (La Roca) above the town for great views and a visit to Diana's Temple (Tempio di Diana).
- Walk 15 minutes East around the headland to the bustling tourist port, full of fishing boats and islets.
Buy
Eat
There are plenty of local restaurants around the old town.
Drink
Sleep
There are several hotels dotted around town.
We used http://www.cefalu.net/ to rent an apartment in town overlooking the water. This is a great way to stay as you're right in the old section of town amidst all the scenery and bustle. One caveat, you must park outside the old section of town, but that's only a 5 minute walk. Cefalu is a great place to base yourself for Sicily.
Get out
- The Aeolian Islands are worth at least a day trip.
