Taormina is Sicily’s most renowned resort. Located in the province of Messina, it hosts a magnificent amphitheater (photo below) with a breathtaking view of Mount Etna in the background. The theater, built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and remodeled by the Romans, is still used today and hosts the famous Taormina Film Festival.
Really brought back pleasant memories of when Julie and I were there – anxious to return. Ciao Joe Campagna
