Taormina, The Hill-Top Town You’ll Fall In Love With

Living in the biggest island in the Mediterranean is giving me a lot of opportunities to explore it. Throughout history, from the Greeks to modern day Italy, Sicily has had high-importance strategically for military operations, economic trade, and control of resources. From ancient times to modern day life it has also been a place to holiday and no other town stands out like Taormina.

On a hill-top not too far away from the strait that divides Sicily from the Italian Peninsula lies a charming city, facing out toward the Ionian Sea from a high, natural terrace. With its Medieval architecture, its ancient Greek soul, and the colors of Mediterranean foliage, Taormina is one of the most beautiful places you could visit in the world. The Greeks and Romans who holidayed in Taormina savoured that very same view, and it continues to be a destination to this day.

Brucoli, Sicily : Little-known Off-beat Destination You Never Heard About

I could have chosen to live in a big city, but I really wanted to live somewhere away from the chaos that a big city has, but be near enough where I can drive to it. I wanted a small coastal town, with the essentials, which to me is a few bar options, some restaurants, grocery store and a bakery. Well, I found it and it and it puts me in the middle of two cool cities, Syracuse and Catania. Brucoli is the town I will be calling home for a while and I would love to share this hidden coastal pearl with you.
