And in my opinion the nicer one (the other being Corso Ruggero, nice also). Countless little shops and stores, cafés and restaurants. Many of course aimed at tourists, but also some independent little mom'n'pop shops. It is a very picturesque street with lots of lovely buildings and homes. If there's a downside, then it's the traffic. It's so narrow, it is a headache for visitors and locals as well. But people work and live here, so there's no way around it, understandable. Cefalu is a really lovely town, surely not to be missed on a visit to Sicily.

The park is one of the most outstanding examples of ancient Greek architecture. The site is located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento, not really a Valley! This is also the largest archaeological park in Europe and the Mediterranean basin and a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are remains of 7 temples ( Doric Style) dating back to 510-480 BC Other: Big tourist site, expect crowds. A lot of walking on uneven terrain, no seating, not a lot of shade.

Jokes aside, this place was quite impressive, in size and engineering, especially as these temples and structures have withstood 2400 years for us to marvel at today! Overall, it was roughly 3.5 miles round trip to walk the entirety of the temples. Completely worth it, in my opinion! There is free parking nearby and tickets to get in are 15 euro per person. Highly recommend visiting if you find yourself visiting Sicily for any amount of time!

The fam was enchanted with our tour of this small charming fishing village. The locals were…read moreextremely friendly and were not appalled at us tourist. It may have helped that we were the only tour in town. I hope this little village remains undiscovered by the hordes so that it can be enjoyed at leisure. Coming to Sicily off season or to Italy in general is the best way to travel to avoid the overwhelming crowd.

If you're planning a trip to Sicily, don't miss the enchanting coastal town of Cefalù! This…read morecharming, rugged cliffside gem is adorned with stunning architecture and boasts some of the most beautiful beaches. We fell head over heels for Cefalù! Just steps from the sparkling ocean, you'll discover fantastic cliff side restaurants that serve delicious local cuisine, all while surrounded by breathtaking, crystal-clear waters. Do keep in mind that this is a traditional Sicilian town so it features very narrow alleys; even the smallest car will have quite a challenge to navigate around. I highly recommend visiting this delightful town! Cefalù, I'm officially obsessed with you!!

"The Fountain of Shame" because a number of the statues here are rather undressed. The "Praetorian…read moreFountain" was originally created for the garden of don Luigi de Toledo of Florence in 1551. In 1573, the fountain was sold to the city of Palermo and reinstalled after it was moved. A restoration was completed in 2003. According to our tour guide, a recent Dolce & Gabbana runway took place here. Which I would totally understand as the Piazza is quite lovely. Well worth a stop to check it out and photograph.

After walking along the Lungomare (slightly disappointing) we entered the old town of Cefalu. And a…read morefantastic little town it is. Very charming with lots of beautiful buildings and houses. This is one of the main drags in town, paralleled by the (for me even more interesting) Via Vittorio Emanuele. Lots of stores, shops and little restaurants and cafés. A very good place would be "Fritto & Divino" on the way (at the Duomo). If you look for an ATM (they are quite rare in the old town), there's also one along this street. Really a nice little walk, only thing that's a bit annoying is the traffic sometimes. I understand people live here, but the streets are really narrow, so it's quite a headache for visitors and the drivers as well. Cefalu is really a beautiful place and shouldn't be missed on a visit to Sicily.
