Last looks from Italy. Three day trips from our ba Last looks from Italy. Three day trips from our base in Taormina: Syracuse and Ortigia for their ancient history and waterfront charm, Savoca for its timeless Sicilian character, and Castelmola, sitting high above Taormina, for the most insane views of Mt. Etna and the Ionian Sea (so much so that I had several fear-of-heights moments).

We spent the day tasting our way across the region before driving to the top of Etna herself, walking among lava fields and taking in the incredible views!
