Taormina - Italian Movie
Trips
Taormina is an exceptionally busy and provocative
vacation destination. It has an stunning Greek theater facing Mt. Etna,
justifiably famous beaches and excellent panoramic views of the sea. In
the town itself you are surrounded by colorful gardens and crenellated
Moorish architecture (from long occupations of the past). You might also
take a guided trip from Taormina to the base of the volcanic Mt. Etna or
higher.
