Things to do
Cefalù's got one mighty church
One soaring mass of Norman-Arab majesty crowns all the other buildings here – Cefalù Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that simply can't be missed. Those who've bagged Cefalù holiday rentals in the historic centre of the city will be just a stroll away, even if that means scrambling up the stone staircases to find it, high on Piazza del Duomo. Head in and you'll be greeted with murals of gorgeous gold leaf and frescos dating back nearly 1,000 years. Don't miss the Christ Pantokrator in the apse or the exterior facade with its dominating towers.
Activities
Embrace the streets in Cefalù
Be sure to pack some comfy footwear for Cefalù – this little town of palazzi and piazza and chapels and churches is all about strolling. You can wander historic lanes to see carved baroque doorways – even the mundane becomes handsome here – or head for the marina walks to people-watch as the fishing skiffs drift in and out. Cafes and trattorias touting Sicilian fritters, fresh seafood and simple pastas make the narrow lanes of the centre even narrower, but it's okay, because with one taste of that tomato-almond pesto alla trapanese, all is forgiven.
Weather
Cefalù – the sun-drenched town
Cefalù enjoys all the climatic delights you'd expect of a town nestled between the bays of northern Sicily. The summers are the favourite of visitors, which is great news because they are so long. The weather starts to heat up as early as April here, ushering in a springtime that's positively toasty – you could even be on the beaches in May, no problem. June, July and August are when most come in search of Cefalù holiday rentals – the villas in the nearby hills are in particular demand then.
Natural features
Soaring high and dropping to seas in Cefalù
The topography of Cefalù is striking from the get-go. One massive mountain of rough-hewn rock seems to spike its way through the heart of the town. It rises in sheer-cut ridges before dropping down in steps to where the Mediterranean rolls in. That's typical of this corner of the Province of Palermo, which is home to the protected Madonie Regional Natural Park. That's right on the doorstep of the city, offering gorgeous meadows of wild herbs and yellow flowers, grass-green ridges for hikers and swathes of ash forest.
