Tucked away in the mountains behind the Tyrrhenian coast lies the little town of Lascari. Located in the province of Palermo with about 3,300 residents, Lascari is perfect for a stop off on your way to Palermo, or even to book a hotel in to avoid the higher hotel prices in Palermo. It's also close to a number of well-known beaches, including Lido di Salinelle, Gorgo Lungo, Cefalu, Lungomare, Spiaggia Santa Maria, and Spiaggia Torre Conca. The olive groves and cork oak trees of Madonie Park are also not far off, just a beautiful drive down the coastline from Cefalu.

For those into Italian and medieval history, the township of Cefalu is known for its Sicilian Romanesque architecture. The richness of the area in cultural and historical heritage is well known, so it can be difficult to find a hotel at the last minute. The smart thing to do is to check EasyToBook.com for the availability of hotels in Lascari before you arrive to ensure a hassle-free stay.
