Castelbuono (11km away) is a pretty hill town and a thriving cultural centre since the 15 ^th century. As its name suggests, Castelbuono boasts a 14 ^th century castle believed to be a blend of Arabic and Norman styles, housing a collection of paintings and religious artefacts which provide a fascinating insight into the history of the island. There are several points of historical interest and a maze of cobbled streets opening onto shady piazzas with street cafes.

The charming town of Cefalù (14km away) was once a Greek settlement originally built on La Rocca, a large rock that dominates over the town. It was subsequently built up around the base of the rock in the 12 ^th century, giving a distinctive Norman influence throughout the town.

Peppered with restaurants, bars, shops and points of historical interest, Cefalù is an ideal location for history enthusiasts or those simply wishing to immerse themselves in the Sicilian culture or relax on the beach. With its Norman buildings and cathedral, fishing port, colourful streets and alleyways that slope down towards the sea and long beach, Cefalù offers attractions for all.
