On the north coast of Sicilia there is a beautiful town, a forgotten jewel that you can know: Cefalù. It is an old fishing village with narrow streets from medieval times and a beautiful XNUMXth century cathedral. It has all the charm and beauty of the Mediterranean towns and a superb beach so I recommend you pay it a visit. In fact, Cinema Paradiso was filmed right here so watch it again and plan your vacation.
In the summer months is when more people come here. Italian families and some foreigners for the most part, but the truth is that there is still not much foreigner on the loose. Also the village is often the starting point for hikers heading to the Madonie Mountains to the south. Cefalù is about 180 kilometers from Messina and 74 km from Palermo. It belongs in fact to the province of Palermo and it is a town that practically rests on the beach itself because it does not extend much inland. It is that behind there is a high rock headland.
The best time of year to visit Cefalù It is in the summer months, from June to September, when the daily temperature is around 25ºC. The hottest months are July and August with temperatures of 30ºC so let's say that between May and October you can go quiet because there are few people and you can explore the area better. Its beach is long, clean, with beautiful golden sands. The best beach in all of Sicily. Do not miss either the old cathedral ordered to be built by the Norman king Roger II in 1131.
