The most significant monument in Taormina is the ancient theatre, not just because of its artistic and historical values but also because of its unique position. The view from here is called panoramaet par excellence and is definitely worth experiencing when you come to Sicily.
Here you can find the Roman amphitheatre, bathing facilities, various houses and most impressive of all a large basilica combining both Greek and Roman building styles. There is also a little archaeological museum connected to the excavations.
Acireale lies 302 m above sea level along the coast. It is a small town with approximately 50,000 inhabitants. The nearest larger town is Catania, which is 6 km away.
Catania is the second largest city in Sicily. It lies at the southern foot of Mount Etna, the so-called friendly volcano, which can be seen from all over the city.
