Taormina

As at many ancient theaters, in the summertime classical plays are given in the Teatro Greco. With its location high on the edge of a 700 foot cliff overlooking the Mar Ionio (Ionian Sea), we don’t remember any we have seen in several countries that is situated with such a fabulous view, and whose perspective compares. With the Sea far below, with snow capped Mt. Etna silently smoking in the distance high above the stage, this is a genuinely exhilarating site.
