It is easy to understand why Italy is one of the world’s most celebrated tourist destinations. This is a country that truly does have it all: exquisite landscapes, an abundance of art and architectural treasures, world renowned museums and a national obsession with decadent food and fine wine. Not to mention the country’s sun-kissed olive groves, glacial lakes, fiery volcanoes and snow capped peaks. Dive the clear green waters of the Mediterranean, browse the market stalls in Naples or experience the diverse wildlife inhabiting the country’s national parks. And if you find the vast range of choices overwhelming, take some advice from the locals: sit back, relax and take a moment to indulge in the “bella vita” (the good life). As they say: when in Rome!
Fringing the northern coast of Sicily, Cefalù is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. This Sicilian beach town features a charming port, pristine beaches and postcard-perfect scenes. Cefalu radiates out from the Duomo, a gigantic cathedral that dominates the main square in the heart of the village. Visitors can look forward to an array of wonderful activities and attractions. Hike up to the Temple of Diana, an ancient Roman temple built in the 4th Century BC. Climb the La Rocca to soak up the stunning view over the village and glittering sea and take an evening stroll along the seafront promenade while savouring the beautiful sunset.
