It’s the land where lemons grow… and that’s not it. Sicily is lush with varied Mediterranean vegetation. The area surrounding Mount Etna owes its rich, fertile soil to the volcano.
In the foothills of Europe's largest volcano lies charming Giardini Naxos, once a tranquil fishing village, today a popular bathing resort, which stretches from the sea up into the lovely hilly landscape.
Across from Giardini Naxos and spectacularly perched on the side of a mountain lies famous Taormina with its gorgeous centro storico and its ancient theater.
Holidays so close to Mount Etna, in such extraordinary location in one of Sicily’s most beautiful spots, are sure to be special.
Bathing beauties and their male counterparts, too, get their money’s worth in this area. Long shingle and sandy beaches line the coast.
Just a tip: Not far from Giardini Naxos lies well-known Isola Bella, offshore from the beach of Taormina. It might be better to enjoy the view of the beautiful island from above, instead of planning to go there for some 'bathing pleasure'. Very often it is so crowded with tourists and souvenir sellers that your 'pleasure' might not be too great.
If you love to go out and mingle with locals and vacationers alike, enjoy a delicious "cena" at one of the restaurants, then stroll along the seaside at Giardini Naxos and 'dive into' the merry atmosphere of the south.
Recommendations by the owner of Villa dei Libri: A Putia, a wine bar in Via Umberto, and Porticciolo, a restaurant in Via R. Margherita.
Giardini Naxos, one of the first Greek settlements, is interesting also from a historical point of view. The name is of Greek origin and means as much as "Fruit orchards of Naxos". Today, an archaeological site reminds you of those times.
