Sicily Itinerary Question

Hello! I need to decide whether to spend 4 nights in Palermo, with a day trip to Cefalu, and the train from Palermo to Taormina the next morning OR
3 nights in Palermo, 1 night in Cefalu, and the train from Cefalu to Taormina?

What do you recommend? A day trip, so I take the train back and forth to Cefalu and then pass Cefalu on my way to Taormina early the next morning.

OR just spend 1 night in Cefalu so there is just a train to Cefalu and the next morning take the train to Taormina.

Thanks!!

I would spend the night in Cefalu. Lovely town, being able to enjoy the evening there is a real add-on. Great aperitvo scene in front of the cathedral. Three nights in Palermo is totally adequate.

If you can get a train from Cefalù to Taormina there’s no reason to backtrack to Palermo. Spend a night in Cefalù.

We enjoyed our time in Cefalu. We stayed two nights and had plenty to do. Enjoyed the restaurants
