What a visual paradise!! Love to see cities that co-exist with the ruins and historical places. Also, your outfits are 100/10 ❤❤

Aw thanks Jamie, yes the heritage here is definitely being cherished now. It’s hard to believe that the Odeon was originally built over! Thanks for watching. Tomorrow’s video is going to be about one of my favourite places in my hometown 🥰

Beautiful Place

Loved being there. Next time I will make it 5 days.

Aww, how long did you go for the first time? My only regret is not visiting Isola Bella as the grottoes look enchanting, but it’s so difficult to see every part of a place when visiting for the first time ☺️

Seems a very interesting place to visit with plenty to offer.

Thank you. Our next stop is Pisa, but I’ll also be sharing a video about my hometown, Bristol and the historic town of Winchester, England, first.

Does indeed seem like a hidden gem of a place to visit.

Excellent choice, if you come to Milan let's shoot a video together. We have telepathy. Enjoy Sicily!

Thank you. I visited Milan about 15 years ago when I was backpacking around some of Europe. Is that where you live?

We’re from England. Travelled to Sicily for the first time in April and loved it.

Too hot in August right? I’ve also heard Scilly is generally pretty dirty with garbage?

Yes August wouldn’t be for everyone as it’d be too hot. I personally would prefer to visit during the cooler months and would not visit during August myself. Taormina was spotless and we didn’t encounter a problem with garbage in other places. It’s fair to say that some of the buildings are in great need of some TLC and unfortunately there is a lot of tagging in some areas. Taormina didn’t have this problem though.

Im going there in october looking for a cheaper house in mozzomeli how far is it from Catania? Any bus from catAnia to mozzomeli?

Catania is fab. Mussomeli is about 90 miles away so it’s probably possible to get a coach but you might have to change. We didn’t go there so I’m afraid I don’t know. It was easy to travel to Taormina and Syracuse by bus for a day trip.

I,m going to work in taormina this coming august (2024) and i am a bit worried about the tourist and local attitude

It’s a very beautiful place and felt very safe. The only real downside was what I covered in the video and that it was not possible to relax near Isola Bella due to being constantly asked for a Thai massage, but we did not encounter this problem anywhere else. Hospitality was friendly enough, but the prices varied a lot - try to eat on the outskirts as much as possible. Every footstep seemed to make a difference to the price! It’s very geared up for tourists as that’s how they make most of their money in Taormina. That’s why we liked the cafe I mentioned as locals used it. It was homemade, cheaper and felt more authentic as they were earning a living by serving the local community, opposed to predominantly tourists. If I had to work there for a while, I’d be happy about it.

are the beaches here swimmable?

We didn’t swim ourselves, but some people were swimming and paddling around Isola Bella and Mazzarò Beach

It’s very nice - but what a tourist trap.

Have you visited? Yes it’s very beautiful but I know what you mean…it only seems to be geared up for tourism/hospitality so definitely lacks character because of that. I much preferred Catania because people are going about their daily lives and the city doesn’t predominately revolve around tourism.
