Duomo Square Market in Taormina
During the summer months, the Cathedral Square becomes the setting of an open market where you can buy typical handicraft products and local food.
Among the stands that crowd the square during the summer mornings, you can find first of all the typical products of the local gastronomy: almonds, capers, condiments and spices. The famous almond wine surely deserves a taste. It is produced in the area of Castelmola; a bottle of wine can also be a nice souvenir to take home.
Isola Bella
Isola Bella (isula Bedda in Sicilian) is an islet of the Ionian Sea close to Taormina. It belongs to the administration of Taormina which is in the province of Messina.
The very short distance from the coast, at times, is canceled by ebb tide which makes it a peninsula. It is also called the “Pearl of the Mediterranean”.
The name was coined by the German baron, Wilhelm Humboldt, who spread the artistic value of the island throughout the world
Etna
Etna (Mungibeddu or ‘a Muntagna in Sicilian) is a Sicilian volcanic complex originated in the Quaternary era and represents the highest active volcano of Eurasian terrestrial plate. The different eruptions connected with it have been changing the landscape incessantly, often threatening the different human communities that have settled around it over the centuries.
Its surface is characterized by a rich variety of environments that alternate city views to dense forests of different endemic plant species or desolate areas covered by magmatic rock and periodically subject to snow at higher altitudes.
