Must-see attractions

Bastione Capo Marchiafava

　　For fabulous sea views in the heart of Cefalù, make your way to this 17th-century fortification, off Via Bordonaro. Crowds gather here to watch the sunset or simply catch some rays on a sunny afternoon. ...

Salita Saraceni

Tyrrhenian Coast

Spiaggia di Cefalù

Tyrrhenian Coast
