Taormina is a charming hillside town with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the majestic volcanic cone of Mount Etna. Bathed in sunshine and steeped in archaeological history, Taormina is the perfect destination for a relaxing vacation in Sicily.

This little peninsula consists of a clot of magma iced by waters, stretching out into the Ionian Sea. At this precise geographical point in the world, two thousand seven hundred years ago, there began the great adventure of a people that, in a spare few decades, created an unparalleled and envied myth and whose cities, were to rival in splendor and beauty.

Mt. Etna is known as the volcano with the longest record of volcanic activity with the first historic eruption in 1500 B.C. It has erupted many times since then and is almost continuously venting gas and steam.

Mt. Etna has a complex of cones at its summit, which is nearly 3300 meters above sea level. Mt. Etna is a constructional landform that has been built upwards for millennia; it contrasts subtly but distinctly in this view, with the surrounding lower hills which are water-eroded landforms sculpted into V-shaped valleys by the erosive power of flowing water streams.
