All this really reaches the apex of beauty and wonder when it joins the various monuments and historical and cultural site that you want to visit.
First stage of this new part of the tour devoted to the discovery of this wonderful city covers the Sicilian Villa Comunale dedicated to the Duke of Cesarò.
The beauty of this green corner of the city is made up of many elements, from the beautiful panoramic view of the south coast and the volcano Etna and the rich and lush vegetation, diverse and exotic, a mix  formed by the Mediterranean and tropical vegetation.
This green paradise was strongly wanted  by the English noblewoman Florence Trevelyan who left donations and  contributions for the creating of the place in a fairly central point of the city, just south of the theater.

A second stage of this part must include the above-mentioned beautiful beaches.
A famous resort town within the seaside in question is the small Bay of Mazzarò, the true attraction is bounded by Capo di Sant´Andrea , which ends at the cliffs of Capo Taormina and the island Isola Bella wich closes a small bay, a characteristic and exclusive area known for the beautful colors of the sea and appreciated not only by residents but also tourists.

Mazzarò Bay is easily accessible and offers the opportunity to make beautiful excursions and trips in the various sea caves that it holds.

Next step concerns the sea town resort Letoianni loved by the inhabitants and of the tourist who knows how to combine it´s natural charm to the possibility to enjoy excellent tipical dishes based on fish.
It has been said many times that the beauty of Taormina is also enriched by some famous tourist sites in the island, then there is the need to give some hints to give a truly complete picture of the city.

Besides the already mentioned place Castelmola known for the presence of an impressive castle and a charming lake, near the Etna volcano,  powerful and almost thretning, thanks to its ongoing activities and to visit it is  required the full support by experienced persons. Also the town of Giardini Naxos is one of the islands most known tourist destination, you must pay particular attention to the place around the natural river Alcantara.
The origin of the place is lost in the maze and to give a historical dating is practically impossible. What is certain is that the famous gorges have their origin from eruptions of a small volcano to the north of Etna, eruptions that led to the birth of a bumpy area, covered by a river and that over time has also learned create its own space between high walls of basalt.
