Visit Taormina in Sicily Taormina is the most picturesque city in Sicily because its houses were built in a small area but with the 250-meter difference between the levels. Because it's been continually inhabited since it was set up, ancient Greek and Roman buildings medieval palaces, churches and modern hotels stand next to each other. [Foreign Language] Castello de Taormina was built on the 400-meter Peak of Tauro Mountain. From here, we can see the whole city; the sea, the nearby Isola Bella Island and the cone of Etna. Its minister, dating back to the 13th century was irrelatively simple building but it's bare and palaces, Palazzo Courvaja and Palazzo Ducal de San Stefano are rather ornate. Even today, Sicily is judged mainly based on books and films. For example, based on Mario Pozo's novels the Sicilian or the trilogy, Godfather. Sicily is thought to be world of the mafia and blood feud, the Vendetta. There's no doubt about the existence of the mafia but it sure that tourist won't be able to notice their actions. Public security isn't worst than anywhere else in Italy, thanks to the police. If we're privileged to see a wedding in such an Old Italian town, it's inevitable to remember the film Matrimonio all'Italiana; of course it was different when Sofia Loren and Mastroianni walking along the narrow cobalt streets of Taormina, we can feel the taste of Italy the most. Small antique shops, the small work of local craftsmen, the Mediterranean style mixed with antique elements of the houses, the color and smell of the flowers are impressive. The best known site of the town, the former Greek Taorminian is the Greek theater. The staggered seats of the huge semi-circle arc were carved into the rocks, so that behind the stage the most beautiful sites of nature will be the scenery. The famous Hungarian painter Czontvary was also impressed by the site. His masterpiece was contributed to increasing the fame of Taormina. We have to work to get to know the town, up steps, down steps. Fortunately, we can reach the Greek theater by cable cars as well. The acoustics of the theater are also excellent. Every summer, concerts and performances take place here. From Taormina, we can go for nice trips to the thermal baths of Ali Terme. The elegant beaches of Forza d'Agro or Mazaro and some romantic ruins of castles can also be found in the mountains nearby.
