A castle is mentioned here for the first time in 1117. The current structure was built during the Norman domination in Sicily. Together with the Forza d'Agrò Castle, which was located higher up on the mountain, it served to guard the coastal road. The castle is now privately owned and unfortunately cannot be visited.

Isola Bella Bay

Highlight • Beach

Wonderful views of the Baia Isola Bella. A good ascent to Taormina takes place after about 200m. Turn right up the hill and pedal hard.

Taormina Hairpins

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

These never too steep hairpin bends allow you to reach this pearl of the Mediterranean. Enjoy the view as you go up towards Taormina: once you reach the town, don't just take the ring road but enter its streets and appreciate its unique attractions.

Today we went from the CP to Taormina by e-bike. Mainly on the main street. We wanted to take the cable car up into the city, but because we didn't have a muzzle for Filou, we went up on our bike. We took a look at the Theatro Antikico (€ 13.50 / person) and the Public Garden. We dined well …
