Return on the ship.
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.
