Cefalù - Destination in Sicily

Cefalù - the pearl of Sicily directly at the sea

Undoubtedly, the impressive charm of Cefalù is characterized by the extraordinary position on the rock "Rocca di Cefalù", the wonderful cathedral, as well as the maze of many small streets and alleys in the "centro storico". In high season, many day-trippers stroll through the city center every day.

Today Cefalù is a tourist center that has remarkable sandy beaches, restaurants and bars, as well as countless small stores. The Greek-Roman and especially Norman history of the city is a constant companion at every turn. In the city there are countless archaeological remains, such as the ruins of an ancient castle, the famous Norman Cathedral, the Mandralisca Palace and the museum with valuable works of art. On the promontory of the rock that overlooks the residential area, one can find the remains of a megalithic sanctuary called Temple of Diana, dating back to the IX century BC.

Cefalù is one of the 15 Sicilian municipalities that belong to the "Parco delle Madonie". This nature reserve, with more than 150 kilometers of trails, is still a piece of unspoiled nature.

Traffic in the old town in the "centro storico" is limited, and parking is largely prohibited. Parking spaces are scarce in Cefalù. Our advice, have a little patience when looking for parking.

In the white marked parking lots, you can park without restrictions, unless there is a sign "Solo per residenti" (Only for residents). In this case, it is forbidden. You can park for a fee in the parking lots marked in blue. Guarded parking can be found in Via Verga. Here you can find a paid and guarded parking on different levels.
