- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Cefalu, known as one of the most beautiful coastal villages in Italy and one of the most popular holiday destinations in Sicily. Located on the northern coast of Sicily and home to a UNESCO world heritage site, we explore the stunning Norman Cathedral at the heart of the city, an ancient medieval washhouse, a painting known as the second most famous smile in the world, and top off the day watching the sunset with a pizza and beer on the beach 🇮🇹
In our next Sicilian episode, we are headed to the City of Messina. Known as the Door of Sicily and a crucial port to the Mediterranean. We explore why this ancient city has such a modern touch.

About Us:
When we were in our early 20’s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 4 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We recently moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, traveling to all 20 regions of Italy by the end of 2022! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions of Italy have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

My grandma is from Sicily Italy she is full blooded Italian and this city is so beautiful the hole Italy is so beautiful
Thanks for posting, we are staying in Palermo and Cefalu in 2023 ! Loving your videos and tips 🇮🇹
I'm from Palermo, if you go to Palermo you absolutely must eat
-Arancina
-Cannolo
-Caponata
-Bread with panelle
-Crocchè
They are literally the most famous foods of Sicily, while arancina and cannolo are famous all over Italy
I spent all my childhood summers there (I am from Palermo). I haven't been there since 2015, so this video brings me a lot of good memories and I miss it so much. Thank you guys so much for visiting Sicily and for sharing your experience.
Thank you for your kind words Edoardo! Hopefully you will visit Cefalu again soon, we loved Palermo as well 🥰
Amazing history about the Duomo. What an opportunity to see the inside of the church and its towers.
It truly is incredible! 😍
Grazie x il vostro video siete due ragazzi stupendi e vi ringrazio tanto......Questa è L'italia unica al MONDO.......
Fantastic video!! You guys are definitely my favorite youtube travel couple. Liked, subscribed, i’m here for it all!
Great video. your positive energies transports through your videos to the audiances. Wonderful, wonderful post. Thank you for sharing your moments
Ahh thank you so much for your kind words Mojgan! 🥰
Italian and retired, I take a good long nap everyday after my lunch. Love being a Sicilian Italian. 🇮🇹
You are truly living the dream life, John! 🥰
Good meeting you guys today! Keep the hard work going! Amazing video!
Hey Francesco, you found us! 🤗 It was awesome meeting you too! Thank you so much, that means a lot 🥰 We hope you have an amazing trip to Sardinia!
Great video! It has been a year since I last visited Sicily. Your video is sparking the travel bug in me. Also, can I just say how much I love the yellow skirt. The color is beautiful and I love how flowy it is.
Aww thank you so much Maja! 🥰 Sicily is like heaven on earth, so gorgeous! We hope you get the chance to travel again soon 🤗
I‘ve been in Sicily twice. Of all the cities there, Cefalu was my favorite next to Catania. It has a specific charm about it. 👍
It is truly a beautiful city! That is awesome to hear, Claude, we plan on visiting Catania soon and we hear it is incredible, so we are very excited 😍
next to Palermo
@@63Telemaconext to on their favourite list ffs
Funny, I liked Palermo waaaay more than Catania. Although Catania has amazing architecture, the dirt and poverty were depressing. Along Torino, the only place I didn't feel compelled to come back
Love seeing the Cathedral.It is spectacular!! Wonderful video!!!!!! Love from Vermont
It truly is spectacular! Thank you Rebekah 🥰
Thanks to you guys we are in Cefalu right now and love absolutely everything about it despite the cold and rain (coldest April in years). Gorgeous town, insanely fantastic food, amazing walks (you missed the hike up La Rocca!) and delightful, friendly people. Thanks for your videos and recommendations.
Aww that’s awesome, Cora! 😍🥰 We wanted to hike La Rocca but there was an intense heat wave when we were there so we didn’t do it 😕 We hope the weather clears up for you & that you’re having an amazing trip! 🤗🇮🇹
Hey Cora, how tough is the hike to La Rocca? We want to visit it this summer. Thank you :)
@@thenewcanadian29 It depends on your fitness level but we (fit 67/75 yo) didn’t find it hard and it really is worth it. The paths were very well maintained, the views are amazing and the history is very interesting - definitely something that is good to read up on ahead of time so you know what you’re looking at. It is tough to actually FIND the entrance to path unless they have fixed the signs so check with a local on how to get to there. There is also a fee (3 euros?). Enjoy!
Really enjoying Matteo's history and sightseeing comments in your videos. I feel this adds to the whole vibe of your videos instead of just filming walking around all day. Thank you so much. You are now my favorite UA-cam travel couple.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Shannon, your comment made our day! 🥰 And we are so happy to hear you are enjoying our videos, that means a lot 🤗🇮🇹
this video is really scenic and blew my heart. as a tourist, you have covered that very well. i really want another video from you do it like as you have did this. thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
Spent a good amount of my childhood life in sicily. Planning on going back. But this is certainly a good way to see how its doing.
Hope u made it back xx
Loved this vlog Cefalu is gorgeous. Can I tell you I totally loved your yellow skirt. The outfit was a relaxed vibe but still perfect for Italy.
Aww thank you so much Cynthia! 🥰
I was able to date my family tree in my dad's side from 1913 all the way to 1500s in Cefalú Sicily. Very kool
Love your videos.I feel like I am there traveling.
Thank you for that awesome compliment Ma! 🥰
Keep it up guys!! great videos🍻🤘🏽
Thank you Henry! 🥰

Aww thank you so much Paola! 🥰
@10:35
LOL, okay, amazing points.... thank you for clearing this out :D
Cookies and beer works! Just got back from the Amalfi coast so we're looking for our next destination. Love the video!
Hahaha we’re happy you agree Rick! 😂💯 Ahh yes the Amalfi Coast is amazing, we hope you had a great time! Sicily is definitely worth a trip too, it’s like heaven on earth 🤗🇮🇹
Cefalù..... Bellissima cittadina sul mare, un sogno...😍💗💞💚🌟
Lo è davvero! 😍
I love how your yellow skirt matches the inside of the church😄
GOLD content, I loved it :-)
Aww thank you so much, that means a lot to us! 🥰
Awesome video ❤👌
Thank you so much! 🥰

That’s awesome Rui, we’re so happy our video could help and we hope you have an amazing trip! 🤗🇮🇹
Bravissimi 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Grazie Mille Carlo! 🥰🇮🇹
Fantastic video ' I've been going to Cefalu for 16 years ' I just love there & have made many friends there & in Palermo & Monreale ' I'll be there in 16 weeks '
Thank you so much Fred! 😊 That’s awesome that you get to experience Cefalu every year 😍 Enjoy!
@@TheGlobalExpats A couple of years I tried other countries but they never matched Sicily ' God willing I'll be there soon ' all the best from Bonnie Scotland ' I was laughing yous sitting with a beer & pizza & folk looking at yous 🤣 ' me & the mate did the exact same pizza & beer & sat on a bench 🏴🇮🇹
Sicily is definitely special, no place like it! And great minds think alike! 😂🍕🍻
@@TheGlobalExpats it's a wonderful country ' I seen on facebook the page ' VisitCefalu ' posted your video on their page ' yes indeed good minds 🍾🇮🇹✌
My great grandpa was from CEFALU, when I see videos like this I often wonder where he lived in the city
That is awesome, SJ! Do you still have any family living there? 😅
Fun fact..you look like an Italian..
Best greetings from Paris, France 😊
@@michaelahass2695 me?
5:07 I just discovered your channel while I'm home, in Monreale, with covid. I cannot wait to see if you came to visit our Duomo, I'm watching your entire Sicily playlist! I subscribed ;)
Hey Federica! Ah no that is awful, are you feeling better? 😓 We will definitely be visiting your Duomo, we have to complete our UNESCO site of the Cefalu, Palermo and Monreale Duomo's! Thank you for your support and hopefully you will see Monreale on here soon once we have our car 🥰🇮🇹
Great vlog subscribed 👍 😀
Ahh thank you so much, that means a lot to us! 🥰
HELLO, 😂⬅️ Very symphatic Couple and Video. Grazie mille
Ciao ragazzi, mi fa piacere conoscervi, avete fatto un ottimo lavoro in Sicilia 🍃
Grazie mille, Gabriella 🥰
💪🏼🇫🇷👍🏼cool you both are Like US behaving traveling a banc a drink a Sunset... But you are Younger than us. WE are both 63 yo but enjoying traveling liké you both. BRAVO
Nice Video 👍🏻
I never thought of visiting Sicily but seeing your videos blows my mind. It has bumped up to #1 place i will go in 2022. Maybe may/April? To avoid intense heat.?
Ah yes! We are happy to hear that, it is definitely worth a trip! Yes May, June, would be a good bet before the summer heat begins 👌🏽
Me too. I was looking at Puglia but after watching these videos, Sicily seems to be my place this summer
That bust in the museum is my great grand fathers brother … ❤
We are considering visiting Sicily. Thankyou for the video!
We´ve been to other places in Italy. I am astonished they let you enter Duomo with cropped/sleeveless t-shirt and shorts. Usually a no-go in Italian churches. Maybe consider wearing something different next time, in Venice they deny people entering St.Marks-cathedral... 😘
I visited Sicily and liked it
It is a beautiful island! 🇮🇹
ive been watching your trip around sicily very good and enjoying your trip you drink and eat a lot where our all the toilet breaks
Thank you so much Craig! 🥰 Haha the toilets are extremely hard to find 😂
My wife and I were there on holiday the year before covid started, it’s a great place ( un bel posto ), Matteo is that a Cape Town accent I hear ? Amore a tutti dal Regno Unito.
That is awesome Aintree! Haha yes you are close, I am from Durban, South Africa 😅🇿🇦 How are things in the UK right now? Has everything started returning to normal yet? 🙌🏽
@@TheGlobalExpats
Hi Matteo. Things are getting a bit better here, more people moving around , but holiday abroad are still risky with taking tests and having to isolate in some cases , but here is to next year. I worked for ‘Cape’ fruit for 19 years based in London and visited SA from time to time , I was ops manager in the marine division and was down in Durban port quite a bit , also P Eliz and Cape Town, our office there is in Belleville .
I have been learning Italian so can’t wait to have another holiday there.
All the best mate, ci vediamo prossimo anno - spero
Bella citta 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Lo è davvero! 😍
Hello expats! I am so enjoying your videos- fun and so informative. What time of year was this video made? We're heading to Sicily in late May abd hoping for mild weather, not too hit, but we want to swim too!
You know this “tight tunnel” you are talking about looks quite similar to that in Cattedrale Monreale.
Amazing video. What camera was used to film the footage?
Sicilia 😍❤️
What month did you guys travel to Cefalu in this video? Looks amazing!
БЛАГОДАРЯ
🌷💕🌷💕🌷
Out of catania and palermo which is the prettiest romantic city?
Art + food=
The best...
How is to celebrate ITALIAN Culture
We completely agree Maria! 😍🇮🇹
Bellissim cefalu', unica al mondo, ma gia ' dal nome gia' vi dovreste innamorare, un saluto da. Napoli
Grazie Ann, saremmo dovuti essere a Napoli presto!
Hi, I am new to watching your channel. I read that parking can be a nightmare there. Did you take the train from Palermo to Cefalu? Also, I really wanna visit Valley of the Tepmples in Agrigento, considering going by train or car. Have you done this? Is it do able?
I am going to Sicily in August! I am so excited, it looks amazing 😍
I was wondering if you could do a vegan food tour in the big places like Catania, cefalu etc. I eat vegan and would love to have a taste of the local food, but I have no clue what is vegan or not
Hey Elisa - ahh that’s awesome, we’re sure you’re going to love it here, it’s incredible! 🤗 We will actually be doing a food tour in Palermo in July, so we will try our best to include what vegan options there are 😊 Wishing you safe travels!
My plan is to land in Palermo and take the train to Capo d’Orlando. I have some ancestral research to do up in Naso.
Приятно вспоминать Сицилию и Чефалу. Я отдыхал здесь в 2012г.
The city my grandparents were from. My last name was (curcio) But was changed at Ellis island for some reason
That is awesome Ricky, I am sure there must be a crazy interesting story behind your name change! Have you visited Cefalu before? 🥰
This city reminds me of Dubrovnik
nice
Thank you! 😊
What’s the music you guys used? Loved it
Thank you Jenifer! All of our music comes from Epidemic Sound but can also be found on Spotify, here is a video with song chapters to give you an idea of the artists we use 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/p4OqSo8xcYw/v-deo.html
We are coming to Palermo for 3 days, would you give 1 day to Palermo or Cefalu ?
can you tell me the situation of Messina??
Hey Riad, what situation are you referring to? So we can help answer your question 😃
Where is the best place to stay in cefalu?
Which month was that? Great film👌🤝
Thank you so much! 🤗 We were there in June 2021! 🇮🇹
If you register in Italy, don’t forget that you can get a 90% tax exemption on income tax which can save thousands or tens of thousands a month in tax
Where did meet the cheetah? That's fabulous!
In South Africa! 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/VW9FV_rFqes/v-deo.html
Cefalu a été parfaitement mise en valeur, d'ailleurs aucun déchet ne traîne dans les rues contrairement au reste de la Sicile, il faut dire aussi fait partie du périple des tour-opérateurs, la sicile en 7 jours, dommage que Bagheria qui a tant d'atouts n'ait pas été mise en valeur de la même façon
Thank you Sébastien, Sicily is incredible!🇮🇹
We just loved Cefalu - celebrated my sister's 60+ birthday here. I guess, these video clips are too short to do it real justice, e.g. the food alone! And the free concerts at the cathedral, and all streets leading down straight to the sea, and despite all the tourists you will find original native life in the narrow alleyways, like fishers mending their nets or middle-aged women sitting in front of their houses for a chat. Compared to Cefalu, Taormina was a touristic horror-trip, only enjoyable between 7 and 10 a.m. 😃
What an awesome way to describe Cefalu Dani, you are so right! Yes, different times of the day and times of the year influence these cities a lot with tourists 😅
What month was that ?
Late June! 🥰
🥰
People stare at you both, because you´re beautiful! 😛😛
Hahaha aww thanks Janaina, you are so sweet! 🥰
In these days Cefalù with trapani is the set of Indiana Jones 5
Yes they are!! They seem to be filming all over Sicily! Even in San Vito Lo Capo & Castellammare del Golfo, where we were this past week! So cool 😍🇮🇹
You didn't eat ice cream in a brioche bun nor climb up to La Rocca?
Hey Wendy, we had planned to climb La Rocca but we decided against it as the temperature was 37 Degrees Celsius at the time! 😅 You can find the gelato in a brioche in our Palermo Street Food video at one of the best gelateria's in Palermo 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/w_TG0bKKRFc/v-deo.html
Your pizza was undercook.. Little advice, if you go too early in a pizzeria when in Italy make sure the wood oven is been light up early in the afternoon otherwise you get that kind of thing.
Ahh that’s good to know, thank you Sandro! 🤗
Delightful couple. (Too many eating scenes)
you guys are too cute
Aww thank you so much Connie, you’re so sweet! 🥰
@@TheGlobalExpats safe travels..carpe diem
Is it legal to drink alcohol publicly in Italy?
In Italia è tutto legale........
So ma la briosh nella granita no dai 😂 ma chi glielo ha detto pic che altro! 😂
Errr, you calling Cefalu a village!?….what?
City! 😜
Yes Sicilians are known to judge others especially when they see people drinking beer outdoors on a beach. An old mentality is common among these people and if a female is drinking a big bottle of beer is considered a no no.
It's pronounced che-fa-lu, not chef-a-lu.
Ovvio che vi guardino male, birra e biscotti, vi sembra normale?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Molto Bella Cefalù...ma non è Certamente una delle migliori... l'Italia è piena di paesi Bellissimi anche poco conosciuti...❤️👍.
Siamo d'accordo al 100%, Maria! 🥰
Dovrebbe visitare Cefalù, allora. Sono poche le città di quelle dimensioni che riescono a convogliare tale bellezza. Il Cristo Pantocratore della Cattedrale è tra quelli che vengono usati più spesso nei libri di testo. È una perla Normanna nel Mediterraneo. Saluti.
@@esti-od1mz Già Visitata.. più di una volta... Bellissima ❤️👏, ma spesso luoghi meno conosciuti,meno frequentati dai turisti.. offrono identiche Bellezze soprattutto in Sicilia..👍,
@@mariagraziaaddeo4049 capisco, sicuramente ci sono luoghi meno turistici che meritano: pensavo non l'avesse visitata e giudicata solo dal video. Per me, Cefalù ha un posto speciale, è questione di gusti, alla fine, ed ognuno ha i suoi. Le auguro una buona serata
@@esti-od1mz è Certamente Un posto magnifico..ma io ho origini Siciliane... Cefalù come altre zone molto frequentate dài Turisti di massa sembra a volte "un pochino perdere di fascino"( la granita vera Siciliana ad esempio lì non l'ha trovi...devi farti un Giro nei paesini .. per Capire Bene , sono nata al Nord ma amo la Sicilia..come lei nessuna ❤️
