My travels: Cefalu'

Located on the north coast of Sicily only 50 KM from Palermo, Cefalu' is a lovely
small town by the sea with  lovely narrow cobble streets, plenty of restaurants to
choose from and of course a fantastic beach with crystal clear sea which it has been
voted one of the cleanest sea in Europe!


Cefalu' boasts a superb cathedral (the Duomo) that rise above the huddled roofs
of the old town, dominating the main Piazza, an elegant space shaded by palm trees.

The mosaics in the Duomo are the earliest and the best preserved of all the churches in Sicily!

My wife and I last visited Cefalu' in 2008.
We discovered this lovely B&B called "Cicerone" only 2 minutes walk from the beach.
From its balcony the view was breathtaking with the waves crashing against the building
underneath the balcony ( as you can see from the picture below).

I would like to end this article by reccommending a restaurant called "Lo scoglio Ubriaco"
because you can enjoy fine food mainly fish on a beautiful terrace from were you
can admire a nice seaview .

Comments are always welcome !

When to Fly to Sicily

Peak Season:


The high season in Sicily is June to September.
This is is when the weather is at is hottest, and the beaches are busiest.
There are fewer crowds, however, in April, May and October.
The temperatures should still be good and prices for flights to Sicily and
hotels on the island will drop.


For those wishing to climb Mount Etna, travel during the warmer months is necessary.
Even in the height of summer, it can be freezing at the top, so make sure you pack
appropriate clothes.


Off Season:

The off season is November to March when you will see few tourist crowds, but the
weather can be chilly and damp.
