To get the best views of the town, climbing up to the top of La Rocca is definitely the ideal point to get sweeping views. La Rocca was home to a Norman castle once but nowadays only some ruins remain. Climb up the stairs and follow the Salita Saraceni over three layers of city walls and you will get to the top. Book a villa in Cefalu and then enjoy all these beautiful views.

4. Hike up to the Temple of Diana

While you walk around town, you will notice the little brown signs that guide you to the Tempio di Diana. Plan your hike early morning or when the sun is not too hot.
