Discover two delightful spots that exemplify the enchanting beauty of Sicily.
The first, Castelmola, is considered one of the most beautiful villages in all of Italy, yet it is rarely visited by non-Sicilians. A brief drive takes you to Castelmola's elusive location, approximately 1,800 feet above sea level.
At the Bar San Giorgio, visitors such as Rockefeller, Ford and Churchill have left their enthusiastic comments.
Continue to Taormina -- one of the Mediterranean's most popular resorts and renowned since antiquity for its climate and beauty. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the medieval Old Town, complete with the 15th-century Corvaja Palace and the 3rd-century Greco-Roman theatre.
Take in the stunning views of Mt Etna, the sparkling sea, and your ship far below. Some free time gives you a chance to wander along the Corso Umberto, and be sure to browse in the boutiques tucked in Taormina's charming alleyways.Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
