19. Cefalù, Sicily: A Postcard-Perfect Coastal Escape

Sicily’s rugged charm shines in Cefalù, a dreamy seaside town on the northern coast of the island.

The Cefalù Cathedral, a UNESCO-listed masterpiece adorned with golden Byzantine mosaics. For an unforgettable view, hike up La Rocca, the ancient cliffside fortress overlooking the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. With its beachfront cafes, fresh seafood, and old-world charm, Cefalù feels like stepping into a Sicilian fairytale.
