Taormina, Sicily

Today we are visiting Taormina. From Monte Tauro, Taormina looks out over two large bays and to the South at Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano. Taormina has been a favored destination for millenia. The Sicels, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Saracens, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards chose Taormina for their residences because of its mild climate and beauty.
