• Sicily: Taormina & Catania

    Oct 25–27 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    📌 The last few days we explored Taormina, another highlight of the island but a little more upmarket and tourist heavy. We decided it was worth spending a night there and it was a good decision. The town was beautiful, it had some gorgeous architecture, some beautiful beaches and a fantastic view from behind the city where you could see the Mount Etna and the Ocean.

    📌 That evening we had a beautiful sunset rooftop drink with amazing views and colours. We had a lovely conversation with some Americans whilst enjoying a drink and watching the sky light up next to the beautiful mount Etna volcano. The pricey rooftop prices were definitely worth it. We then made a great call on a dinner restaurant, the service was so friendly and the food was delicious.

    📌 The next day we headed for Catania, we were craving some Napoli style pizza and we hit the jackpot for lunch, more great service and a super friendly pizza chef. He talked us into a the "don Perignon" of local beer 😂, it was delicious and was only a little more then Aus prices in fairness.

    📌 We checked in and had a wonder around Catania, enjoying what was possibly our last warm night in Europe. We will definitely miss the vibes, Sunday night and everything was buzzing. The streets were hit and miss, a little rundown but the city was also full of more great architecture. We finished with a 3 course meal, some delicious seafood pasta, wine and ofcourse tiramisu. Until next time Italy 👌
