From the ancient time come two city gate, Porta Messina in the north and Porta Catania in the south. Porta Messina is a remnant of a former fortress wall. This natural stone structure is a landmark of the city and you will inevitably go there, or through there, when you stroll over the Corso Umberto

Isola Bella Bay

Highlight • Beach

Wonderful views of the Baia Isola Bella. A good ascent to Taormina takes place after about 200m. Turn right up the hill and pedal hard.

Goethe was here, Empress Elisabeth II and Greta Garbo - Taormina is perhaps the most famous seaside resort in the world. I wonder how people climbed the 200 meters to the sea back then. Not with the cable car, neither then nor now - it has been under maintenance since February. How did all the tourists get up here this …
