Cefalu - the city of the Normans.
Cefalu is a Sicilian town famous for its medieval monuments
and picturesque location. It is often called the "City of Normans". Considered by many to be the most beautiful bathing resort on the island.

In Cefalu, white houses in a typical Italian style, winding, narrow streets decorated with flowers are as if squeezed between the Tyrrhenian Sea and high, yellow-brown mountains.

The city is a good starting point for optional excursions because it is located between two large coastal cities - Palermo and Messina. Before entering the town, there are two large campsites.

Cefalu has already delighted many with its beauty and unusual atmosphere. It is a small seaside village which, despite the development of tourism, has not lost its regional climate, but on the other hand it is also not deprived of places where you can laze and rest, but also have fun.

Cefalu is famous for its vineyards and the production of the best Sicilian wines, as well as for its world-class monuments. Take a stroll around the city to see medieval churches and fortifications, and perhaps the most famous building in the city, the Norman cathedral - Duomo di Cefalù.
Inside the cathedral, impressive Byzantine frescoes - the work of Arab artists. Connection
so distinct from one another the styles of East and West is perhaps what makes the view of the cathedral so special. The city's architecture also has a slightly Arabic appearance - low, whitewashed houses, iron gates to larger estates and Arab baths, and just outside the city, olive groves and orange tree plantations.

To feel the true Sicilian atmosphere of the town, you need to go to the local bazaar - here you can see how lively, spontaneous and friendly the Sicilians are. You can buy fresh fish and seafood from local retailers. Old women selling home-made products also draw attention - they are the ones where you can buy culinary treasures, the taste and aroma of which remain in your memory for a long time.

Sun and rain protection at the campsite
The weather, especially on summer holidays, can be capricious. Although it is impossible to predict it, we can be properly prepared for it. Whether it is sun or rain - it is worth considering the equipment of the motorhome that will allow us to enjoy the holiday regardless of the weather conditions. What accessories are worth investing in? Especially awnings, side walls and roller blinds for motorhomes will protect us from the scorching sun and persistent rainfall. Although awnings are optional accessories for a motorhome, investing in buying them before the summer season can save us a lot of nerves during our dream trip. Each of us has experienced at least once the discomfort associated with the heat pouring down from the sky and the hours of rain, which effectively discourage leaving the motorhome. Fortunately - the solutions available in the stores with camping accessories are a real godsend during bad weather. There are two types of awnings to choose from by the owners of motorhomes - wall and roof awnings, which, as the name suggests, are mounted on the side of the vehicle or on the roof, always in places reinforced at the factory by the vehicle manufacturer. When the weather conditions are unfavorable, a well-taut material is ejected quietly and gently from a special cassette, which is an effective barrier against sun rays or raindrops. In the offer of leading manufacturers such as Dometic, Fiamma or Thule, we can find both manually operated awnings and those equipped with an electric system. When buying, it is worth paying attention to models equipped with a special rain drainage pipe.
