One of Santa Flavia's most beautiful spots, Caletta Sant’Elia, is a small cove with beautiful, clear water that’s great for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. Caletta Sant'Elia is a 25 - 35 minute walk or 5 - 10 minute drive from the suggested hotel, Domina Zagarella Sicily. Please note there isn’t much space for sunbathing at Caletta Sant'Elia, as the beach is quite small, and most of the seating is on the surrounding rocky terrain.

Spend some time at Cefalù Beach, walk through the historic town center, and visit the Cathedral in Piazza del Duomo.
