Take a look at this beautiful view from the Greek Theatre of Taormina ... and the Etna Mountain !

MOUNT ETNA is our god, the fiery furnace of Vulcan. Every day, Europe's highest volcano steams and fumes, and sometimes all eastern Sicily is dusted lightly with black, grainy ash. Sicily’s irritable grandfather does not always let us up to the top, but we will go as far up as we can, through black villages built of lava, amid a twisted, ominous landscape.
TAORMINA is Sicily’s most popular tourist destination. From Romans through the glitterati, it has been the holiday destination for the rich and famous. The Greco-Roman Theatre that overlooks the town has one of the finest views in the world. A shopping mecca with fine beach, Taormina has become the focus of mass tourism in Sicily.
MAFIA TOURISM
Yes, and we invented it. We can take you to sites of Mafia activity in Palermo, Corleone, Siracusa, and, well, lots of places. In fact, the best examples are the roadways beneath our van. We will discuss the Mafia, where they came from and what they are up to. We will discuss the anti-Mafia movement and visit the anti-Mafia museum in Corleone. You can stay overnight in the estate of a Mafia Don, now turned into a beautiful organic-food farmhouse B&B, run by Libera, the national anti-Mafia organisation. The Mediterranean Centre in Siracusa, for university study-abroad students, even offers a very popular course on the Mafia.
On Location" -- Film site tours
Many great films have been shot here, including "The Godfather" (all three parts), "Il Postino", "The Leopard", "Cinema Paradiso", "Malena", "Divorce, Italian Style", and others. We will take you to where the scenes were filmed, We know where the director stayed and his favourite restaurant, and know people who knew the actors, and some who were extras on screen. Furthermore, Douglas used to live in Tunisia and we can do a "Star Wars" tour in a country rich in sites and images from the film. Just ask.
