카스텔몰라 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

중단해야 했습니다. 사방에 풀어놓은 개들이 있었습니다...

Beautiful loop, a bit sporty, with incredible views

The ancient Greek amphitheater is considered the pinnacle of historical sights in Taormina. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the shimmering sea, the Bay of Naxos, and the towering Mount Etna. Built of brick in the 3rd century BC, it is one of the largest of its kind in Sicily. It is believed to have been expanded under the Romans, but Greek inscriptions can still be seen on the seats.

The summit is difficult to reach; hiking poles are recommended as there are loose rocks and many old terraces to negotiate on poorly marked routes. Cloud formations make it exciting.

Monte Venere, or Veneretta. IGM altitude point

Magnificent view of the Ionian Sea and towards Etna from the top of the mountain. Further down you can see a departure-flight point very popular with paragliding enthusiasts

A quick little loop above the completely overcrowded tourist town of Taomina, starting in the tranquil village of Castelmola...a beautifully laid out and largely well-marked (red/white) hiking trail, well-maintained. Steep but not "exposed"...from the summit: beautiful views of Mount Etna (when it appears), the sea, the coast, and the "summit" of Mount Veneretta is a trignomic point!

Great view
