While using Palermo as the homebase for the first half of my Sicily vacation, I enjoyed a couple of day trips along the way to other cities. The first city I explored was the beautiful, Cefalu. I used the train to take the 1 hour ride over and it was a fabulous experience!
Sandy beaches, a picturesque historic town on a rocky headland, some high culture in the shape of a fine Norman cathedral, great transport links, Sicilian food and sunshine all add up to make Cefalu one of Italy's most attractive seaside destinations.
