Travel Tuesday

Taormina, Sicily Part One


Taormina, Sicily is simply breath-taking and truly one of the most beautiful places to visit in all of Europe! It encompasses the most favorable shopping extravaganzas with the likes of Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Michael Kors, and Armani to name a few. Not to mention, delightful gelato bar’s, and wonderful Italian bistro’s. It is by and large a true escape from the modern world to relax while strolling along the cobblestone roads and taking in the scenic ocean views. We have been there a few times and every moment we spend there is magnificent! Taormina will be one of the places I will miss the most when we leave Sicily.

Taormina's street, churches, and residences have a medieval flair and it always leaves a lasting impression on all whom have had the pleasure to visit.


Amazing views of the Ionian Sea.

This church (pictured below) is near the center of Taormina which overlooks the Ionian Sea, and was built in the 14th Century.
