This busy port is graced by wide boulevards, lush parks and spacious piazzas. Choose from the medieval power of the 11th century cathedral and the Castello Ursino, the Baroque fantasy of San Nicolo, or return to the ancient origins of the city with a visit to the Greek theater. Just a short drive up the coast are the Greek glories of Taormina, with unforgettable views of Mt. Etna.
