Every summer, when I return to my parents’ home in Sicily, I make it a point to spend at least one day in Cefalù, a small village on the northern coast of the island. Originally a Greek settlement, Cefalù was later under Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Norman rule, each leaving its peculiar cultural mark on it. Over the twentieth century, then, the village transformed from a quiet fishing community into a must-see destination, famous for its charming streets and stunning seafront.
