A Taormina is one of the key places to visit in Sicily and as we were on driving distance we had to go. There were some amazing views on the way there. Below is the hill top village of Castlemola, which we unfortunately never had a chance to visit.
Before heading into Taormina we drove a bit in the mountains around to find a good place for lunch. We found a good place and the views were magnificent.
Taormina is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, which is unusually warm and salty (which has probably helped its beaches' popularity). We parked down below and took a bus up to the city. Taormina is is one of the most popular destinations in Sicily, which was obvious from the amount of people. The city is gorgeous so definitely worthwhile a visit but next time I will definitely avoid high season. Below a typical Taormina street.
There were plenty of portrait painters on Taormina's main square.
The cathedral.
