Welcome to Taormina
We took an excursion that left Messina and went to Taormina for the morning . It is a hill top city on the Ionian Sea. It contains a quaint main street that at the far end is an old Roman theater built in a Greek style for some reason. A very typical village in the area and it was a good morning there
