Viewpoint in Taormina & the east

Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Castello di Castelmola

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.
