With 5 days in Cefalù, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the cathedral's shadow, daily life unfolds in the Piazza del Duomo and along the lively Corso Ruggero, where the scent of fresh seafood and sweet cannoli fills the air. The true magic happens at dusk, when the setting sun paints the Rocca in fiery hues, a spectacle best enjoyed from the ancient stone benches of the Lavatoio Medievale or with a glass of local Grillo wine at a waterfront bar.
