Taormina - Our Final Home Base

Our last three nights in Sicily we spent in this lovely seaside town. Although very touristy, with the big ships making a stop in a nearby port, it is a beautiful setting.  They have the second largest Greek theater, next to Syrucuse, but the views from here are stunning. It would be a wonderful venue to see a concert which we were told they host many of the big names.  

There is a maze of stairways taking you through the city.  It reminded me of Positano, but on the hillside, with their exception of having a lovely pedestrian only shopping street.  The Godfather was filmed near here and there are many shops capatilizing on the films notoriety.
