CRUISE 2011 - TAORMINA, SICILY

I had no idea Sicily was so beautiful. Actually the cruise brochure mentioned that the port of Messina isn't much. Rather than simply go into port we decided to take a chance on Taormina. I had never heard of it. WOW! It is a beautiful place. Pedestrians only - shops, cafes, churches, Roman ruins, and views of Mt. Etna and the Mediterranean.

Our bus dropped us off and we had 3 hours on our own.
