Italy Cefalu
Cefalù is a picturesque coastal town on Sicily’s north shore, framed by the sea and the towering La Rocca cliff. The historic center, with its tightly packed buildings and the prominent Norman cathedral, sits beautifully between the water and rock, especially striking in warm sunrise or sunset light.
Photography Tips
Use a drone with a wide-angle lens to highlight Cefalù’s coastal setting and compact layout. Early morning or late afternoon gives the best light. For ground shots, consider views from the beach or hike up La Rocca for a sweeping perspective.
Travel Information
Cefalù is about an hour from Palermo by train or car. The old town is walkable, with nearby parking. La Rocca involves a moderate hike and small entry fee. Off-season visits are quieter. Drones are allowed but must follow Italy’s rules, especially near crowds and historic sites.
