21 Underrated Coastal Towns Cheaper Than the Amalfi Coast
19. Sicily's Unspoiled North Coast: Cefalù

While Taormina gets much of the attention in Sicily, Cefalù on the northern coast offers a stunning alternative with its magnificent Norman cathedral dominating a charming medieval town, all set against a dramatic rocky headland (La Rocca) and a beautiful crescent-shaped sandy beach. Climb La Rocca for panoramic views, wander the labyrinthine streets, and enjoy delicious Sicilian cuisine without the intense crowds of some other Italian hotspots. Cefalù provides a perfect mix of history, beach relaxation, and authentic Sicilian charm, making it feel like a true discovery.
