Taormina
October 26 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Taormina, wird auch "das Juwel Silziliens" genannt.... mal sehen ob wir das nach unserer Sizilientour bestätigen können 🫠. Unsere E-Bikes haben sich definitiv bewährt 💪. Diese sizilianischen Städte liegen so hoch.... 25% Steigung sind da an der Tagesordnung 😂. Und dann noch die 300 Stufen auf den höchsten Punkt der Stadt.... die Maria de la Rocca Kirche 🥵🤌. Dafür wurden wir zum Sonnenuntergang mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf den mächtigen Etna belohnt 🙏😍🥳. GrazieeeeRead more

Day 31
Taormina (Sicily)
September 12 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Today we continued on from Syracuse to Taormina. Taormina is a stunning hilltop town overlooking the Mediterranean and Ionian seas. The town has been a popular holiday destination for millennia and is famous for its ancient Greco-Roman ruins and proximity to Mount Etna. It was also featured in season two of the popular TV show White Lotus!Read more
Traveler Oh my goodness! id love to know each tables' occupants stories: the tragical romance on table one, the musings of the man on 2nd and the fury of the wife on table 3! The makings of a true Italia 🇮🇹 operetta 😉🤓😝

Day 76
Bam Bar, Taormina
June 8, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
We then decided to follow the advice of our host and have breakfast at the Bam Bar, a Taormina institution. With granita and brioche being the traditional Sicilian breakfast we decided to give it a go again. Brad tried granita and a brioche in Ortigia but it was a bit of a fail. One - we weren’t sure what we were doing, and two - Brad probably ordered the wrong granita. I chose to go with coffee and cream and brioche and Brad tried chocolate and cream with his. They were delicious, just not what we would usually have for breakfast. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to return tomorrow to try it again. Which we did!! Who knew ice coffee and cream and a brioche would be my ideal breakfast staple.Read more

Day 76
Giornata ‘Bar’ 😋
December 14, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Mattinata produttiva e subito partenza per Castelmola (ME)📍 Dopo una breve esplorazione del piccolo borghetto e un’occhiata alle spettacolari viste sul mare abbiamo fatto tappa al Bar Turrisi ☕️ conosciuto per il suo arredamento e il suo menù a tema 🍆
Qualche problemino di parcheggio ma siamo riusciti anche ad arrivare
a Taormina (ME)📍Abbiamo passeggiato per le strade e le piazze addobbate per il Natale 🎄 visitato una mostra d’arte 🎨 e siamo rimasti affascinati dagli spettacolari disegni che si trovano sulle facciate dei palazzi, sulle insegne, sui tavoli, i menù - ovunque 🥰 Ritraggono volti di giovani uomini e donne, frutti, fiori e il sole ☀️ uniti poi da splendidi ornamenti 🖌️
Per finire ci siamo concessi una buonissima granita al Bam Bar 🍋Read more

Taormina
July 7, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
A strandolas utan ettunk par falatot otthon, kibontottuk a pisztacia pestot, amit korabban vettunk es isteni finom volt. Azota azon gondolkozok, hogy hany ilyen uveggel kell hazavinni hogy ne fogyjon el ket perc alatt. Osszeszedtuk magunkat es elindultunk Taorminaba. Addig konnyen eljutottunk, jo kozel is van, viszont a Pina altal javasolt parkolot nem talaltuk meg igy kicsit hosszasabb keresgeles utan vegul eljutottunk egy parki hazba ahol volt szabad hely es az ovaros kapujahoz vitt fel a lift, szoval tuti helyet talaltunk. Nem mondom, hogy meg egyszet eltalalnek oda, mert annyit keveregtunk. De Taormina csodaszep. Lattuk meg vilagosban, naplementeben es sotetben is. Vegigsetaltunk az ovaroson, a gorog amfiteatrum kivetelevel minden "must" kategoriaju helyet lattunk uh azert meg vissza kell jonni. Ide tenyleg el kell jonni, ha valaki Szicilian jar. Vegul meg talaltunk egy helyet is ahol adtak a meccset, kajizni is lehetett es meg hely is volt igy beultunk megnezni a nemet- francia elodontot, aztan hazaindultunk.Read more

Day 13
Taormina, Italy
August 15, 2017 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
As we traveled to the mountain top village of Castelmola, we viewed the smoke coming from Mount Etna. We walked this extremely old village with its tiny houses then sampled almond liqueur and sponge cake.
We then went to Taormina and walked its narrow streets and piazzas. Our tour ended when we walked though the ancient Greco-Roman Theatre that is still used today.Read more

Day 4
Isola Bella
June 3, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Isola Bella ♥️ eine kleine Insel bei Taormina.

Auf dem Weg nach Cefalu sind wir noch ein Stück die Küste runter (Richtung Messina), um einen ruhigen Ort am Strand zu finden (Bild5). Im Juni scheint hier nicht viel los zu sein, denn wir hatten den kompletten Strand für uns alleine.

Nachdem wir genug Sonne getankt haben, sind wie weiter nach Messina gefahren. Hier haben wir uns jedoch nur die Kathedrale von Messina angeschaut.Read more
