Cefalu itself is a lovely resort with lots of nice restaurants, shops and bars, beach is a little overcrowded at times.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

You need to get up into the mountains and go east from the town and the rocks , the beaches are tightly packed with umbrellas no space and pretty horrible for that reason - sardines. The town is a tourist town hard to find good restaurants; there are

5/5 - Excellent

Lovely historic pedestrianised old town. Coffee and cake in the square is lovely. The ice cream is amazing but eat it quickly before it melts:) We didn't try the brioche and gelato which the locals rave about. Next time maybe.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Beautiful city. The old town was our favourite. People friendly and welcoming. We walked up Cefalu Rock which was a challenge in the heat but with plenty of stops and water it was worth the effort.
