The Taromina City Park
This is one of the most beautiful and well maintained parks I have ever enjoyed.
Having a tennis club as part of the park elevates its status to world class! I could live here...!
Outer edge of the park has this vista and walk.
The Greek Theatre and Roman Tombs
These are catacombs where the Romans buried their dead.
Our Hotels
This is our hotel home in Taormina - The Villa Carlotta.
Our terrace and view.

A cable car connects Taormina to the beach village of Mazzaro, about 2000 ft below. Can you see the cable car and cable? Mazzaro is the village on the small bay to the right.
And this is our hotel in Mazzaro. It can't get much better than this.
