    Taormina's main attractions include the 2000-year-old theater, and a good viewing spot with the sea behind and the volcano in front. There is an English guide, but you need to deposit your passport, which you can get back after the tour.

    Recently i'm exploring Mount Etna, Europe’s highest and most active volcano, is a breathtaking wonder of nature. Towering over the Sicilian landscape, it offers a mesmerizing blend of dramatic volcanic scenery, lush vineyards, and ancient lava flows. Adventurous travelers can hike its trails, explore craters, and witness occasional eruptions lighting up the sky. Whether blanketed in snow or basking in summer sun, Etna promises unforgettable views and a powerful connection to Earth's raw energy.

    Taormina, in the past, many writers, poets, and stars would come here for vacation. Many beautiful legends and scenery about Taormina were left in novels. There are many orange trees here, the sun is shining, and there must be a cathedral in Piazza 9 April.

    In the evening, we took a cable car from the town to the beach to view Bella Island. It is a protected island and does not allow tourists to approach it. It is not allowed to go to the island. Although it is really possible to go there on foot, the light is not very bright at night. Good, and it will be colder and windy

  • The Cathedral of Messina

    Messina Cathedral was built in the 12th century. It is a very classic church building. This church is also a very important area. The church is also quite large. Here you can learn a lot about the history and religious culture of the city.

    The Centaur Fountain in Piazza 9 Aprile in Taormina has a Centaur on top. The whole sculpture fountain feels restrained and not very extravagant. There are restaurants and churches around it, and the scenery is nice.
