Taormina - Etna - Sicily - a sightseeing

The picturesque town of Taormina on the Italian island of Sicily is surrounded by the most beautiful landscapes on this planet. The surrounding scenery ranges from the nearby mainland of Italy to the ever smoking volcano Mount Etna. Taormina high above the sea on a rock offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the wonderful coastline. You can visit the beautiful historic center for shopping and the many cultural sites. After a cable car ride down to the beach, you can refresh in the cool sea and if that's not enough, take a day trip to the near volcano, the ever active and over 3,200 meter high Mount Etna.

The most beautiful view of Mount Etna is from the Greco-Roman theater. But the panoramic view of the sea below is also incredible.

The Isola Bella and the surrounding beaches can be reached most comfortable with the cable car from Taormina down to Mazarò. The bathing suit and goggles should not be forgotten. The water is crystal clear and full of fish.

Recommended is a visit to the nearby Mount Etna. At least when not hidden by clouds. By cable car and mountain buses you can approach the active volcano. But dress warm. At 3,000 meters above sea level, it is cold and the weather can change quickly.
