Cefalú is a beautiful town on the coast with breathtaking landscape. There is a pleasant beach, which is a social hub for visitors and locals alike. Because of this, it can get extremely busy! The town’s ancient fortress and Norman cathedral give both character and atmosphere to the town.
|
The cathedral square is lined with palm trees and there are many traditional cafés, where visitors to the town can enjoy refreshments and the view of the impressive cathedral.
|
Along the town’s main street there are many shops where tourists can buy local ceramics and other specialities of the area. In recent years, a number of interesting wine shops have been opened in this area. "La Corte dei Golosi" is a very impressive wine bar (enoteca) on the Piazza Duomo. Here you can find a fantastic selection of excellent wines, primarily from Sicily, but also from the rest of Italy. You can also taste their specialities on the premises.
|
There are several good small restaurants in the town, with seafood and pasta dishes being the specialities. Though you will have no problem getting a decent meal on the sea front, if you venture away from the promenade and into the narrow streets behind, you have a better chance of finding restaurants and pizzerias offering more authentic Sicilian cuisine.
|
There is a train station close to the cathedral and the town centre, with connections to Palermo and Messina. Cefalú is also a great starting point for visits to the Madonnie mountains, which are situated behind the town.
