Overview

Explore two of the most charming villages in Northeast Sicily: Castelmola and Taormina. The medieval village of Castelmola, recently added to the list of Italy's 100 most beautiful hamlets, has deep historical roots. The town’s charming center retains its ancient character, with narrow alleys and homes encircling the Castle. Traditional falconry performances still take place among the Castle’s ruins, amplifying the medieval atmosphere of this picturesque village.
