Seven Days in Western Sicily
IS 7 DAYS IN SICILY ENOUGH?
It is, but you would need to find your focus. You could easily spend 2 or 3 weeks in Sicily to visit the whole island, but most of us do not have all that free time. This is why 1 week in Sicily is a good start, and the best would be to either focus on Western Sicily or Eastern Sicily. For example, 7 days in Sicily starting in Palermo is a very good option, which will allow you to visit Sicily capital, dive into its cultural scene and discover the beauty of Nature around Palermo and Trapani Province.
WHAT TO SEE BETWEEN PALERMO AND CEFALÙ?
For your Sicily 1 week itinerary, you might want to combine Palermo and Cefalù to discover the Arab-Norman UNESCO heritage of Sicily and some of the most beautiful beach in Sicily. It is worth mentioning the Mondello beach in Palermo, the iconic beach that every Italian would recognize, or the sandy beach along the coast of Cefalù with its picturesque anglers’ houses.
IS CEFALÙ WORTH VISITING IN SICILY?
Cefalù is definitely a must-see town of your Sicily travel itinerary if you are planning to spend one week in Western Sicily. It is easily reachable from Palermo by car or by train in one hour, making this destination a stress-free one as well as a sustainable choice if you travel by train in Sicily. In our ebooks we mark whenever a recommended destination is reachable by train in Sicily.
WHAT IS CEFALÙ SICILY KNOWN FOR?
Three distinctive things make Cefalù memorable. The Arab-Normal medieval Cathedral and its mosaics, the massive mountain behind the village and the town sandy beach. No surprise, this town beach was chosen as one of the locations to film the White Lotus 2 Series in Sicily. Therefore, Cefalù remains a must-see destination for your one week Sicily itinerary.
DOES CEFALÙ HAVE A BEACH?
Yes, and one of the most iconic ones. The coastline around Cefalù is a very beautiful one, but it tends not to be easily accessible. This is why the town beach is the easiest and stress-free solution if you are staying overnight in Cefalù as part of your 7 days Sicily itinerary. The beach is long, and it features turquoise waters. It tends to be quite crowded in summer time especially in July and August, hence if you have the chance to go before or after you will enjoy it at most. Otherwise, make sure you reserve a first row umbrella at one of the many beach clubs.
IS CEFALÙ WALKABLE?
The town is quite compact and flat, therefore very walkable for everyone. In this ebook travel guide we provide the perfect walking tour in Cefalù with a step-by-step Google Maps itinerary with all the major attractions in town. How does it work? You purchase the ebook, you go to the Cefalù page of our recommended Sicily one week itinerary and you click on the icon of the walking tour. And what is left to do is to follow that with your smartphone, at the pace you want and whenever you want. This is how our travel guidebooks empower you making most out of your time in Sicily.
HOW MANY DAYS IN SICILY IS ENOUGH?
From one romantic weekend in Sicily to four weeks doing workation/remote work, you will always have something to do in Sicily and plenty of unique experiences to try. Are you a Nature lover? If so, get to the Zingaro Nature Reserve in Sicily and get surprised with how beautiful and untouched Nature can be in Sicily. A trekking along the Zingaro paths with a mind-blowing view over the sea will make your Sicily trip sporty and sun kissed.

WHICH PART OF SICILY HAS THE BEST BEACHES?

IS ONE WEEK ENOUGH IN SICILY?
This is quite a common question. Is a week in Sicily enough to visit the Island? The answer it simple. It is enough to see some parts of the island, but not everything.

HOW DO I GET TO RISERVA DELLO ZINGARO?
The Zingaro Sicily Nature Reserve cannot be missed during your Nature in Sicily tour. The Zingaro Reserve was the first Nature Reserved to be established in Sicily, and this prevented any form of urbanization to affect Nature here. This is why the only way to visit and move inside it is either trekking, donkey back riding or by boat.
