Complete Guide to Visiting Cefalù & its Beach
Situated slightly to the east of Palermo, for those completing a circuit in west Sicily, Cefalù often gets left off the menu.

Only Packing List for Sicily You Need!
Growing ever more popular, Sicily is absolutely one of my favourite regions to visit in Italy – not least because, situated at the south of the country (just off the toe of the boot), it’s heavy on the sun hours and hot on the Mediterranean heat! And of course, it has all the amazing trappings […]
Where to Stay in Sicily?
If you’re heading on your first trip to Sicily as I was recently, then the choice about where to stay here is a question you’re likely to face.
