Castello di Castelmola

ViewpointTaormina & the eastAbout 2.5 hours

The ruined castle above the village of Castelmola, higher again than Taormina, with a view down over the theatre, the coast and Etna in one turn. A steep walk up from town or a short bus. The village itself is tiny and worth the almond wine.
