Taormina...
Taormina stands 200 meters on the mountain that extends into the Ionian Sea with the Capo Taormina, north of the outfall of Alcantara.
In 357 BC Survivors of Naxos settled in the area giving rise to a flourishing Greek town.
From this moment Taormina developed greatly enriched by beautiful buildings.
These are monuments of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, partly visible and partly hidden among modern homes.
The best known is the greek and roman theater, used as a venue for summer music and cultural performances, and home to the famous international film festival.

From our hotel you can easily visit:
Etna...
The beauty of the Park of Etna is not only the grandeur of the eruptions and flows of lava.
Around the big volcano extends a unique and unparalleled environment, rich sounds, scents and colors.
An area of enchanting landscape, protected by a natural park that anyone in Sicily cannot fail to visit.
Agrigento...
Founded in 581 BC by cretan colonists from Rhodes and the nearby Gela, Akragas quickly became one of the most important cities of Magna Graecia, in Sicily, second only to Syracuse.
The urban area had a width of 456 hectares and was surrounded by fortification walls
with nine entrances.
The population was about 300,000 inhabitants and was considered
"The most beautiful city of mortals."
In 210 BC it was sacked by the Roman Empire and subjugated for centuries by it, but experiences later the invasion and rebuilding by the Arabs, who rebuilt the city on top of the hill where today one can admire the historical center characterized by the typical Arab conformation, with its small alleys and courtyards that converge on the Via Atenea, and that even today can be considered the most important artery of the city.
Syracuse...
Founded by the Greeks in 743 BC it grew rapidly and socially after the occupation by Gelo who defeated the Carthaginians in Imera becoming the main city of Greece in Sicily.
With its successor it becomes the center of Hieron culture.
With the Roman occupation began its decline that lasted throughout the Middle Ages.
Catania...
The city of Catania was founded in 729 BC with the name of Katane that in Sicilian means "cheese grater", "rendering plant" (from the lava ground on which it stands) and was one of the first Greek colonies in Sicily.
It was conquered by the Romans in 263 BC who left the architectural remains of Augustus.
After the Byzantine era there was the Arab ruling and then the Normands, who brought many changes and innovations in the city, as, for example, the cathedral and the numerous monasteries.
With the Aragonese the city experienced a period of recovery and cultural growth.
In this period came the first university in the island.
The subsequent Spanish ruling and the devastating earthquake of 1693, the land sank into a severe economic crisis.
Following this period there was a major rebuilding campaign that continued even after the unification of Italy.
The nineteenth century saw the city bloom beautifully from the cultural standpoint, in worldly, literary, musical and theatrical term.
Caltagirone...
After the earthquake of 1693 it was rebuilt in Baroque style.
Noteworthy is the Cathedral for the Treasury and good paintings and also the churches.
Of considerable interest, the scale of the mountain (112 steps) with the risers of local pottery.
Alcantara Gorges...
The Alcantara, one of the four main rivers in Sicily, which goes around the northern slopes of the volcano and flows to Naxos in the Ionian Sea, offers a charming picturesque landscape that gives rise to irregular flows of water that are now sweet (with beautiful lakes ) now rushing (with beautiful waterfalls).
