Sicilia: Taormina, e le Isole Eolie - MessinaSicily's main tourist destinations

View of Giardini Naxos and Mt Etna



View of Taormina





Another city founded centuries Before Christ, which was dominated by the Greeks, Carthaginians, Arabs, Romans, among many others. Initially it was a Phoenician trading post.


The city is loaded with tourists...



Torre dell'orologio









A Greek-Roman theater






It was nice to get away from the crowds! The water of the Ionian Sea is amazingly crystal clear and much warmer from the rest of most European waters.

We finally found a place at the beach where you can sit and drink enjoying the view and breeze.
The Bay of Naxos

Mount Etna spewing some smoke.
