Getting around
Arriving
Cefalù. On the Palermo to Messina coastal line, about an hour from Palermo by regional train; the old town and beach are a 10 minute walk from the station.
Tickets · Trenitalia (arrival) + local buses
Cefalù itself is a compact old town pressed between the Rocca and the sea; everything is walked
Trenitalia app or machines for the train.
Validate regional paper tickets before boarding.
On foot
- ·The Norman cathedral, the medieval lavatoio and the beach are minutes apart
- ·The Rocca climb (about an hour up) is the town's one serious walk; take water, there is no shade
Taxis and driving
- ·Parking near the old town is scarce in summer; the train from Palermo beats driving the coast road
