Taormina

We stayed on the coast below Taormina and climbed a flower lined path that must have been used by the Romans. Once we got to the city center, we kept climbing to this overlook with the city in the foreground and the Theatre opposite.

Much of the Baroque architecture of Noto dates from the early 18th century after an earthquake destroyed the city in 1693.
