Giovanny was a great host. His apartment is newly renovated and located near to all the entrances in Taormina.
We stayed 4 nights just enough to feel the Sycilan life.
To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.
From here you can visit the both gates: Catania and Messina.
You can get the funicular (5minutes) and go to Isola Bella for the beach. it’s 3 euro one way for persone.
Near is a supermarket at Fabrizzio, 1 minute walk. You can buy all you want for the morning breakfast ( eat fresh chease and buy oils).
Also downstairs there is a good coffe bar, you can enjoy the sycilian life. For the best price there is a supermarket Punto Simply but it’s near door Catania 10-15 minutes walk.
I recommend you to take a tour with CitybySee. It’s 20 euro per person. You can visit Savoca (Bar Vitreli), Forza d’Agro, Castelmola, Isola Bella, Giardini Naxos. We did this tour from 9.40 to 18.30. You can custom your tour how you want.
I recommend you to eat best pizza to Vila Zuccara.
Also you can visit Etna. This is one day tour. We will do it next time ;)
