Sicily, Italy | Don't Miss Cefalù, One of Italy's MOST Beautiful Coastal Towns!

[@ChilloutLars]

The one thing that really stands out with your channel is the respectful attitude presented in each country. Some other vloggers like to sensationalise their story by degrading the country "as guests." It's a pleasure to follow your journey, guys.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you! We try to go to each new country and respect their culture and people as we are the visitors. We also try not to sugarcoat things to mislead those that may want to visit, but also not be negative. Thanks for watching. Cheers!!

This is so useful to me you have no idea. The last time we were in sicily we stayed in Palermo and it was awesome but so hectic. I think 55 year old me will enjoy cefalu for our 2024 trip. And thanks for showing the train.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Yes, we much preferred this small town over Palermo - much more our style. Thanks for watching ☺

[@glauciod2444]

Nice video! The weather looks great and prices are reasonable. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@BrianandCarrie]

You're very welcome ☺. Thanks for watching!

[@georgebuscay8511]

Just can't say it enough, how much I love your Italy videos. Beautiful. Thanks. Kathleen

[@BrianandCarrie]

We're so happy you are enjoying them ☺. Thanks so much for watching - Cheers!!

[@martina5923]

Nothing beats a beer on a hot day! But, I'd be happy with a nice glass of wine with an authentic Italian meal, too. I just LOVE all those outdoor cafes in Cefalu. I don't recall ever visiting here, but I know I would like it with all the handcraft shops, being a handcraft artisan myself! It really looks like a quaint little place. Cheers to another fabulous video!

[@BrianandCarrie]

It's a great small town with a nice laid back feel. It would have been a great place to settle in for a week or so. Cheers 🍻

[@houseofroos]

Thanks so much for your tour of Cefalu! I was there with my kids last June and the day was violently windy so we only saw the train station and the inside of one wonderful restaurant. Excellent episode! You two are so cute together

[@elricko9077]

Gorgeous!

[@JeffMelsonVlogs]

This place looks great and the prices seemed reasonable!

[@BrianandCarrie]

The prices do drop considerably in southern Italy compared to the north. We wish that we had more Schengen time so we could have explored more of Sicily. Thanks for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

[@karenkelley5703]

Love Cefalu!!! I’ve been there twice and it’s do lovely!! The square is enchanting. Thank you for sharing 🥰🥰

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for watching! ❤

[@nash5]

I have travelled all over Europe, including Cefelu. That hike and view is not be missed.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We really wish we had stayed in Cefelu for a few days. We would have loved the hike. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

[@travel_and_explore_with_BIP]

Love this!!! Definitely on my list 🍺🍺🍺

[@specialk8424]

Thanks for the video! I was able to hike up to the top of the rock in April for beautiful views :) I also like being near the water and spent many months of my nomad life in Chania, Crete. I definitely recommend it!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Crete is on our list! We may be back in the area next year so we will try to get there. Thank you for watching our channel! Cheers!!🍻

[@d.y.e3803]

It's great to see a part of Sicily and you did an excellent job filming it. Although I've been from the north to south in Italy over the decades, I never made it down to Sicily. But, it's still on my list to get to in the future. Greetings from Los Angeles

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi in Los Angeles! We would love to go back and explore more of Sicily - we really enjoyed Cefalù. Cheers 🍻

[@d.y.e3803]

You did a great job in filming it. Can't wait to see your next adventurous destination. Smiles. Greetings from Los Angeles@@BrianandCarrie

[@robertmcfarlane4151]

Hey. Another informative video. I am more than a little surprised that you left Palermo so late for this day trip. You are both usually up and at it. Looks great. I would likely pack that bathing suit and towel on a 95 degree day. Amazing the small quaint places you get to see when off the beaten path. In September such a crowded train. Wow. Safe travels and cheers.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We definitely should have left a few hours earlier than we did. We honestly should have stayed the night so we could have jumped in the water and had a place to clean up for an evening dinner. It is a great little place that we would recommend staying at. Thanks, Robert! 🍻

[@freetowandernow]

Hey guys! Thanks for the tips:) We are in Palermo for the next few days and then head to Cefalu for the Month of November! FYI an AirBnb (booked months ago)with an amazing private rooftop and view was $1500 Cdn. We will be heading back to Palermo for a day trip and a cooking class. We're travelling through Italy for early December then to our housesit in London for Christmas:) Looking forward to watching more!

[@BrianandCarrie]

You will be happy that you booked a place in Cefalu rather than Palermo, we wish we had done the same thing. It sounds like you got a great deal. We are looking into the house sit experience as well and it seems like the UK has many. It may be the only way we can see London with the cost of living being so high! Thank you for watching!! Safe travels! 🍻

[@hkwok168]

May I ask - what is housesit?

[@BrianandCarrie]

There is a website called Trusted House sitters. It usually requires taking care of someone's pets while they are on vacation.

Im so curious about this house sitting gig! Hope you post a video about it!

[@1Liisu]

We hiked to the top of Cefalu Rock in september 2019 and it wasn't too bad. One of us was even wearing flip-flops. The views from the top were beautiful and we were lucky enough to see mountain goats.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That's so cool ☺. Had the temps been a bit lower that day, we would have made our way to the top. We saw some pictures from the top, and it looked beautiful. Cheers 🍻

Our favourite place in Sicily 😊…like walking on to a film set in off-season (was there end Sept-Oct 22). Our profile pic is from Cefalù beach! We’re off to SE Asia in Jan for our first time…thanks for all your incredible inspiration and ‘real’ experiences guys 👍. Let us know when you ‘do London’ and we’ll gladly provide you some great ideas. x

Hey guys! Made it to Portugal. I love it despite ALLLLL the rain since I've been here. It's just so peaceful. Staying about an hr or so so north of Lisbon. Loving your Italy videos! 🍻

[@BrianandCarrie]

So happy to hear you are loving it! We are looking at coming back to Portugal later next year to explore more. Hope the rain lets up for you. Cheers!!

[@deidre19801]

Great video! I am curious as to why you chose Cefalu over other beach towns in that area. Thanks!

[@BrianandCarrie]

We had heard a lot about the town, and we were pressed for time. We had to choose were we wanted to go and decided on Cefalu. Happy that we did, lovely town. We do wish that we had more time on Sicily to explore but between having to leave early and work (editing videos) we just ran out of time. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

[@ParisianThinker]

Both if you are the best on KZbin talking about traveling. I am looking to relocate out of France.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@margsangster8994]

Enjoying your videos guys, but couldn’t handle that heat, that’s why I’m going to stay in Cefalu in December! Cheers from Australia

[@BrianandCarrie]

That's a big much cooler time to visit, good choice. Cheers!!

[@AprilandRafa]

Great video you two. Were working on details for our roaming retirement. Do you have an update on what/how many luggage brand/model you guys carry with you? Were looking at RyanAir as a benchmark and their carry on limits are pretty small, so were looking for your experienced advice on this.

[@TexasDoug393]

Looking into one of those magic laundry baskets. Nice to see sunny Sicily from rainy Texas.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Those are difficult to come by! The hotel that we are currently staying at doesn't have one!! 😄

[@THEJOKER2224]

Is it Palermo or Palmero Brian? 😀😀 love your videos 👍 cheers

[@BrianandCarrie]

I know!! I always say that!!! 😂😂😂 Cheers!!!🍻

[@markfinlay9615]

Are you in Turkey now? I have one of those magic laundry baskets, but it is full because my wife is in Slovakia visiting her family. She asked me today if our apartment was clean and tidy? I said "spotless" which, of course it isn't. Looking forward to next weeks video.😊

[@BrianandCarrie]

Haha....now this is funny!! Yes, we are in Turkey now and loving it here - our Turkey series will start in a few weeks. Cheers!!

[@KattieMetChris]

Told you it was awesome! 😂😂♥♥

[@BrianandCarrie]

You we're right ☺️☺️

[@RetiredGlobalSlowTraveler]

How long and where did you stay in Sicily ? Are you there for a month? Starting next year we want to follow in your footsteps.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We ended up staying 3 weeks, but we didn't accomplish everything that we intended to. Cefalu was the only day trip that we were able to do before leaving. Next week's video will explain more about our pros and cons as well as our cost of living while in Italy and explain why we left when we did. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

[@michaelfrew5652]

Hey Brian, one shot was muted no audio at around 13:15. I am guessing your the editor and Carrie is the Executive Producer!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Uhg! I'm not sure what happened!! Thanks for the heads up. Carrie is the executive producer of everything and yes, this video was my edit. 🙄

[@ChristineF55]

You are in my ancestors territory. I can't wait to go next year. If you go off the beaten path to Naso (actual birthplace of my grandparents) I would love to see it. It's near Capo d' Orlando. So looking forward to your Sicily adventures. What time are the last trains ?

[@BrianandCarrie]

We wish we could have visited that area, but have since moved on and are in Turkey now - maybe next time 😉. Good question on the trains, I'm not sure when the last train runs. I use the trainline app to book, that would be a great reference point. Cheers!!

[@ChristineF55]

@@BrianandCarrie enjoy.

[@Deficitukrapper]

Great video! im staying in mountains south of palermo and have got a car for a day trip to Cefalu. Can I ask why having your shoulders exposed was an issue? is it a religous thing? and also does it apply to any other attractions in Sicily?

[@BrianandCarrie]

If you decide to go into the churches, then you need to be covered for religious reasons. It does not apply to other attractions.

Question: do you fly your own drone? If so, do you have a Part 107 FAA Drone License & how do you get permission or approval, if at all?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Great question! We don't use a drone. We didn't want to hassle with all the legalities of using one let alone packing one all over the world with only carry-on luggage. We use Canva, it is a paid website that we use for any drone shots. We did a video last year on how we shoot our videos and what gear we use. Thank you for asking!! Cheers!!🍻

[@matthewgarrett1964]

@@BrianandCarrie interesting. I have a DJI Mini 4. The drone & all its "gear" weigh about 2 1/2 lbs. & all of it fits in a case 1/2 the size of a football. I also have an FAA Part 107 License, so that makes it easier for me . I plan on using it myself but completely understand the desire not to have to deal with it.

[@virtual_travel_worldwide]

so much people everywhere 🙀 Did you found empty spots? I think about to go there during the european winter 😎

[@BrianandCarrie]

That would be the best time to go to avoid the crowds. The beaches are amazing, so winter isn't the best time to take advantage of them.

We liked Thailand the best, but Vietnam was nice as well and less expensive. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

[@SD-co9xe]

Of all the places you visited in Sicily or near Sicily, which cities did you like the best? Would you stay in Palermo again?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Unfortunately, we did not get to explore Sicily as much as we had originally planned. We did enjoy Cefalu and would stay there if we ever had the chance again, we would not stay in Palermo. We also loved our time in Tropea. We didn't do a video of the town because we wanted some downtime, but it was one of our favorites. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

[@sallysprinkle5127]

@@BrianandCarrie Maybe they do, but maybe it would be more helpful if you gave exact times. And they understood that restaurants close at certain hours and they open for dinner at certain hours Americans assume everything’s open 24 seven just trying to help your channel by being a little bit more specific for maybe first time travelers. Not me sorry I live in the south of France. I understand but a lot of people come here frustrated when the restaurant closes at two and they haven’t eaten lunch or they want to eat dinner at six, and the restaurant doesn’t open till eight.

[@BrianandCarrie]

From our experience not every bar and restaurant close and open at the same time.

Do you mean Palermo? You said Palmero. We laughed because my last name is DiPalermo and people always say Palmero. 😂
