Hemmed in between a towering headland of a mountain and a naturally sheltered harbor, Cefalù is a small, orderly city and a relaxing place to unwind.
It has no cars in the historic center, a friendly passeggiata, some of Sicily's best Byzantine mosaics, and a sweeping curve of fine beach that has recently attracted some modest resort hotels and expanded the city westward.
The 5th-century BC Greeks left a few vases for the town museum (which also houses a famous Antonello da Messina painting), and Roger II and his Normans gave the town a mighty cathedral that draws the tourists and gives us a viable excuse for cooling our heels here for a day or two.
