Taormina and Spisone, SICILY

My Day Trip to Taormina and Spisone, SICILY

Taormina is a famous old Sicilian town near Messina with spectacular views of Mt. Etna and the Mediterranean Sea. Above Taormina is another small village with a fortress and church a bit less touristy as it requires a set of strong legs to walk about 45 minutes up uneven steps to reach the summit...

Well worth the effort though!

Near Taormina is Spisone, a famous beach that draws rock climbers as there are some good climbing spots there.  My partner took this photo of me relaxing on the rocks in the shade...

And a lovely place to try some great Italian food!!
