- A Beach with a Backdrop: Relax on Cefalù's long, sandy beach with the dramatic La Rocca headland as your constant, photogenic companion. The shallow, clear waters are perfect for families, while the Lungomare promenade is lined with lidos and restaurants for the quintessential Sicilian seaside experience.

The challenging climb is rewarded with ruins of a Norman castle, the enigmatic Temple of Diana, and arguably the most stunning panoramic view of the town, cathedral, and Tyrrhenian coastline in all of Sicily.
