Acireale (center busy) - Giardini Naxos beautiful waterfront - Taormina (spectacular view of the Isola Bella, parking problems here too) Etna (via Lingfield until we arrived at Rifugio Sapienza, unfortunately it was a cloudy afternoon and we were able to see very little, however, a nice chilly) - Trecastagni (great restaurant Saponari) - Nicolosi (the famous "door of Etna") - Enna (to see the Duomo, the Castello di Lombardia and the Tower of Frederick) - Villa Romana del Casale near Piazza Armerina (beautiful mosaics and the restaurant the Wheel) - Caltagirone (beautiful staircase ... just past the floral display) - Piazza Armerina (a little 'disappointing) - Valley of the Temples ( particularly the scorching sun and atmosphere) - Porto Empedocles (nothing special) - Scala dei Turchi (instead unthinkable and beyond all imagination) - St. Leo (if you try to dine) - Dubrovnik (very nice, the Cathedral, the gardens at the center Historically, all cured) - Modica (majestic cathedral and chocolate) - Scicli (baroque jewel, and set the Inspector Montalbano) - Noto (amazing) - Oasis of Vendicari (a lonely sea) - Marzememi (old tuna fish and seafood restaurants ) - Cape Passero and Correnti Island - Beach Calamosca-Syracuse (Ortigia a beautiful little 'disappointing greek theater) - Catania (chaos and traffic)
