Cefalù Cathedral
@wanderingduo
You can enter this church for free, but we recommend getting tickets to climb the tower and view the city from the top! This is a must do in Cefalu. 😍

You must eat here! Traditional Sicilian cuisine. We loved the caponata, pasta a taianu, and the bauletti mediterranei. 🍝
☎️ They only take reservations by phone, and you can only reserve between 7:30-8:00 pm otherwise, you’ll have to show up and wait for a spot!

Ma & Mi B&b
@wanderingduo
We loved our stay at this adorable bed-and-breakfast! The view from the terrace where you eat breakfast in the morning was spectacular.
We stayed for about $70 (one night) but might differ by season. It’s a short 10 minute walk to the old town.
