Cefalù is a coastal town on the northern shore of Sicily, known for its Norman cathedral, medieval streets, and sandy beach stretching alongside the historic center. Over the centuries it was shaped by Greeks, Arabs, and Normans, and its 12th-century cathedral is today part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. The combination of a historic core, sea, and beach makes Cefalù one of the rare towns in Sicily where cultural landmarks and swimming are just a few minutes walk apart.
