    Hiking

    For the way back from Castelmola to Taormina the Sentiero dei Saraceni is a very good alternative. The entry into Castelmola you have to look for something. Then the path leads through gardens and meadows, with a beautiful view of Mount Etna and the hinterland of Taormina. The path is mostly paved and was even lit up once. The lights have fallen victim to vandalism and are now standing around as ruins. That's how it is in Sicily.

    It has a beautiful view of the Etna while you walk through meadows and gardens. The entry is a little hard to find, but it's worth taking this alternative route back to Taormina if you do not want to go the same way again

    Hiking

    The path from Taormina is currently being beautifully renovated. There's some construction work in the middle. Otherwise, the path is a dream.
