Cefalu is well worth a visit. We did not, by any means, give it the credit it deserves as we were only staying for a few days and had some very basic needs to satisfy before starting to explore the town and the area: The need for soaking up as much sunshine as possible without getting our eyebrows singed. For two days, happily exposing ourselves to UV A, B, C and what felt like a fair amount of x- and gamma rays, we lolled like immobile skin-shedding sea elephants on the sunbeds in the beautiful Kalura Bay.

Once in a hot while we would roll off our beds and into the sea, wallowing in the underwater world of colorful fish, shells and plants, before again retreating to our incubators.
When we after a couple of days eventually mustered the will and strength to lift our heads and look up, we discovered dazzling sights of mountains, rolling hills, and an amazing diversity of colorful trees, bushes and flowers. Rocks and cliffs were decoratively protruding into the sea, one of the closest ones occupied by remnants of a Byzantine fortress.
