We took a day trip to Taormina from Siracusa.  Taormina is on a hill on the East side of Sicily, North of Mount Etna.  It offers picturesque views in nearly any direction you might look. 

It is popular with tourists who arrive in cars, or from cruise ships. 

The magnificent Greek Theatre was included in scenes of Woody Allen's The Mighty Aphrodite.
