Cefalù is compact: the Duomo, the sand in front of town, La Rocca above. One full day works as a trip from Palermo; two or three nights leave room for a boat and the Madonie.
What to see
Arab-Norman cathedral (UNESCO mosaics), medieval wash-houses, Mandralisca Museum, the harbour. Climb La Rocca early or late: Temple of Diana, the coast. Six ready walks: history and mysteries, Rocca and Temple of Diana, sea and sunset, alleys and shops, food walk, boat and caves. These are free or ticketed sights, not paid shop windows.
The beach
The town beach is the postcard — free sand, cathedral behind you, packed at sunset. Toward Kalura and the lungomare, hotels with lidos: Hotel Kalura, Victoria Palace, Le Calette. Spiagge (Italian guide) · Where to stay.
