Golden sands meet medieval streets in this coastal gem where the imposing Norman cathedral watches over everything like a patient guardian. Climb La Rocca for views that explain why photographers camp out at sunset with thermoses of wine. The cathedral's Byzantine mosaics glow with impossible brilliance, while the town's winding alleyways reveal family restaurants where seafood arrives hours after being caught. After swimming in the crystalline waters of Cefalù Beach, dry off with a granita from a street vendor who'll debate Sicilian politics with surprising passion. For a quieter experience, hike to the Temple of Diana ruins or escape to nearby Madonie mountains. The Aeolian Islands beckon from the harbour, where boats depart for day trips to volcanic wonders.
