In experiences in Sicily to Taormina we will discover the culture that characterizes this area.<\/p>\n<h2>Sicily experiences to Taormina: discover this city step by step<\/h2>\n<p>My intent is to lead you through this path feeling a Greek admiring Etna and the Tyrrhenian gulf of Giardini Naxos, \u00a0in front of you. We leave from\u00a0the Corso\u00a0and the rocking of people, to go into the silent lanes of Taormina and up. We will make a circle from <b>Porta Catania<\/b>, the south entrance of the town, admiring the view from different perspectives over which the <b>Greek Theatre<\/b> becomes bigger and bigger and its history dominates the route.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>experiences in Sicily to Taormina<\/strong> include steps, paths, asphalt. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Good for walker kids too. Urban walking in Castelmola where we stop for coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Walking back downwards from the road to the\u00a0<strong>Castello Saraceno<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Madonna della Rocca<\/strong>\u00a0and here by steps down to city center.<\/p>\n<p>Duration of the walking 3.5H.
