Day 01
Cozy and Charming Cefalù Walk
- Meet me at Piazza Colombo and admire the unique beach and the lapis blue sea.
- Walk downtown through little alleys and reach the Lavatoio Medievale, originally built in the Middle Ages to allow women to do their washing in the fresh water from a spring in the hills behind the village. Its quietness creates a great atmosphere.
- Reach Porta Pescara, one of the entrance gates to the old town, framing a unique view over the bay and its scenic sandy beach. By the way, did you know that Cefalù Beach appears in The White Lotus Season Two?
- Step into the little fishermen's cove, where you might even see some of them returning from fishing or selling fresh sea urchins.
- Visit the UNESCO Heritage Cathedral, one of the masterpieces of Arab-Norman architecture, displaying an amazing combination of cultural influences from a glorious past. Stop by Ermen's Cove and read the plaques bearing the old fishermen's names.
- Admire the huge and dazzling mosaics portraying Jesus, the Holy Virgin, Saints, and Angels, and experience Jesus' gaze following you from the panel on the wall wherever you move around. Absolutely unmissable!
- Finish your tour with a gelato or some pastry at a local café and enjoy the passers-by and the cheerful talking of the locals.
