Cefalou, Taormina, Syracusa, Mesina, Agricento, and many other towns in Sicily were built by Greeks, Hellenes

Yes, quite true. The later occupiers of Sicily also added on to the architecture with their own styles. Sicily has a wonderful depth of cultures. Thanks for your post.

I am always looking for real depictions of touristy places and here's a good example! This is an area little seen but very representative of the richly patchworked Italian, especially Sicilian history. Thanx!

Thanks for your comment. We loved Cefalu' and it certainly represents the medieval aspects of Italy/Sicily.
