  Unmissable, the village of Cefalu is an absolute must-see for its small fishing port where brightly coloured boats rock from side to side.

• To avoid

  Avoid making inappropriate comments concerning religion, as the Sicilians are dedicated believers. Do not talk about the Mafia, it is still a sensitive subject, along with the vendetta.
