Taormina

Description:

Taormina is beautiful by day but in the evenings its atmosphere is simply enchanting. Then there's the rarer spectacle of Mount Etna's nocturnal fires as lava flows along the snow-covered slopes of Europe's greatest natural wonder, leaving a stream of steam and light in its wak. Amazing views of the sea complete the picture. The most famous is the view overlooking the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, one of Sicily's largest, with Mount Etna and the sea in the background.

Close to Taormina, we find Giardini-Naxos that is the oldest Greek city. Little remains here except for structural foundations and the pavement stones of ancient streets, but Naxos was once a flourishing city much larger than ancient Taormina. It was founded by the Chalcidensians as Sicily's first Greek colony.
There are a lot of restaurants that offer every kind of foods of the local cuisine. Taormina's medieval streets are full of places to buy jwels, ceramics, mosaics, puppets and so on. The beach at Taormina is very close and there are a lot of hotel surrounding.
