We started our day by taking our tour bus up into the mountainside of Taormina with our local guide, Angelo. Angelo took us on a walking tour that started at the Cathedral of St. Catherine, a 17th century Baroque cathedral that was built directly overtop an Ancienr Greek and Roman square.
Behind the cathedral, during an 1893 excavation, they discovered an ancient Roman Theater that dates back to the First Century AD.
We continued on our tour of Taormina and toured the hillside Ancient Greek Theatre that overlooked the bay.
Then, our group got to spend a few hours of free time exploring the hillside town of Taormina. From great food and great sights, to fantastic people watching, it was a great day!
