Cefalu, Italy

Why Walk Cefalu

Cefalu is wedged between a massive limestone rock — La Rocca — and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The town's Norman cathedral, commissioned by Roger II in 1131, contains stunning Byzantine-style mosaics including a monumental Christ Pantocrator. The medieval waterfront, with its houses built right to the water's edge, is one of the most photographed scenes in Sicily.
