Sicily in Depth

A breathtaking aerial view of Cefalù, a coastal town in Sicily, Italy. The picturesque town features tightly packed, terracotta-roofed buildings nestled along the shoreline, with a prominent medieval cathedral standing out near the center. A rugged cliff rises dramatically behind the town, while the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea surround the peninsula. A small boat leaves gentle ripples in the water, adding a sense of movement to the serene landscape.
