Unusual village:Castelmola - Medieval village with ruins of a castle, has an unusual reputation due to a bar where you can find phallic decorations, from the entrance handle, to the shape of liquor bottles. I found it in bad taste especially because the bar is at the Duomo. It's like thinking about the devil and holy water. A matter of taste

Castelmola and Taormina with Theatre - Wow. What an amazing day! Our guide, Chiara and our driver, Giuseppe were wonderful! The drive up to Castelmola was so beautiful! We enjoyed the walking tour of the village. Our next stop was Taormina and we loved our time here! We learned so much history and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful village! We also were able to tour the ancient Greco-Roman theatre. Amazing site and amazing photographs with Mt. Etna in the distance.

These two beautiful towns... - These two beautiful towns were a great surprise. Katia was full of information about her Island and the places we saw. Castelmora and Taormina are beautiful towns perched on steep hillsides next to the sea. The history is fantastic. Be sure to include a visit when you are in Sicily.
