Vincent Poon :: Ports of Call - Messina, Mt. Etna & Taormina

Messina was the first port of call in our trip; it was also the first time I set foot in Sicily and also the first time I climbed an active volcano. In fact it is the largest in Europe... boy, aren't you excited?

What we got at the end was a crater that even the old people can climb and finish in minutes, and also a beautiful medieval town if not spoilt by the heavy rain storm...

Some classy night club....

The sun is like an icon you can find everywhere in Sicily

Corso Umberto I, the main street running through the heart of the town

The side streets are more pleasant than the main street

The cat was so naughty that it wasn't allowed back in...

Teatro Greco, the perfect horseshoe-shaped theatre, suspended between sea and sky, with a breathtaking view of Mt Etna and Bay of Schiso

View of Lido Mazzaro from behind the theatre. This is where the beach of Taormina is

Capo Sant'Andrea, near Taormina

Bay of Schiso

Panoramic view of the theatre and supposedly Mt. Etna (well, you can see it when the weather is good)
