This beach is very European, which is to say it's a rock beach, not a sand beach. You can rent chairs and umbrellas. Dependign on the time of year, the water might have jellyfish, so beware as you wade into the surf. The little island, Isola Bella is magical, make sure you tour it.

It can take 20-30 minutes depending on your fitness level (wear sneakers!) 2. Take the gondola down to the final stop, and understand that you still have to walk some stairs down. It's not ideal for the elderly or those with walking issues. 3. Pull up on your boat! You should have water shoes because this is a rocky beach. No sand. Take your umbrella and chairs. OR, rent some chairs + umbrellas from the various beach clubs along the shore. I think that's the best way to go, because they cleared out their shoreline and it's not at rocky. There are a few vendors on the walk down selling water shoes, hats, and clothes. My girlfriend bought a 10€ hat and it was money worth spent! There are also some pushy salespeople that will try to recruit you to go on a boat excursion, snorkeling, etc. Regardless, do spend at least one day at the beach if you're visiting Taormina. The water is amazing, the views, the photo opps...

Worst customer service ever. They pick and choose to whom they want to give a refund. Our cruise…read morehad a last-minute port change the day before we were supposed to dock in Messina. I canceled the excursion first and then contacted Viator because I could not contact the tour operator. I found out after the fact I had to contact the tour operator first before canceling. I tried contacting tour operator on numerous occasions before the excursion but didn't get a response. So I always contacted Viator (third party company whom I booked the excursion with). My SIL who was on the same excursion was refunded and told them I was with them. They still would not refund me but they did refund her. We were on the same excursion and had to cancel for the same reason. Difference is she waited to cancel until she talked to them. My bad on that. They should treat the customers the same way. Especially when my SIL explained the situation and told them I was with her.

The weather was perfect last week for an excursion through the lava craters and tubes of Mt. Etna…read more My group booked a half-day excursion (this one: http://www.etnamoving.com/en/tours/etna-quote-2000-27.html) through Etna Moving, and we loved the whole experience! We were picked up by Fabrizio in a Jeep just a couple blocks from our hostel in downtown Catania. We made our way to a small village at the base of Monte Etna for refreshments before heading up the "back way" to see a whole different perspective of the mountain tourists traveling by bus will miss. I was SO not ready for the off-road experience and it was kinda scary at points, but the guides, Fabrizio and Marco, knew what they were doing! And that Jeep was durable. Phew. This tour itself was highly educational from a naturalist and geologist standpoint. We learned important historic information about this mountain, which is home to Europe's most active volcano. We saw plenty of lava rocks, but we didn't get near the top -- which is fine by me. The tour included a cave adventure -- in which they give you hard helmets with lights and you navigate the dark cave. Our group saw a sleeping bat! Pretty cool all-around, but be prepared: My shoes were not right for the cave, so one of the guides held my arm most of the time to keep me upright. Even so, I still hit my head several times over on the low-rising cave ceiling, sooooo just know what you're getting into! It's also very windy and chilly on the mountain, so don't forget a hair tie and jacket. At the end of the tour, after we stopped at the souvenir shop near Silvestri Crater (and got lava rock jewelry - yay!), the guides brought us to a little house and we ate a prepared picnic meal of fresh veggies, small sandwiches and red wine. If you're in this part of Sicily, you really shouldn't miss a trip to Mt. Etna. Etna Moving is a friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy tour company. I'd consider them again for future trips to Sicily.
