Travel Vlog Italy Sicily Syracuse Catania
By this point in my journey, I had traveled all around Sicily. I stopped in Syracuse, which has a historic center with notable Greek and Roman ruins, culture, amphitheaters, architecture, and temples. Archimedes is said to have been born in Syracuse, as it was once a very powerful city-state in ancient times. There are several archaeological sites to see here, including Unesco World Heritage Sites. For example, the Greek theatre of Syracuse overlooks the modern city. Despite its decayed state, you can imagine how great the acoustics must have been. There is also a newer Roman city and ruins as well as the Roman amphitheatre. Surely, some of the most famous tragedies would have been performed here including Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Medea, and The Bacchae (my favorite). The masonry that you see is stunning, as well as the other points of interest, the Altar of Hieron and the cave, the Ear of Dionysius. On the peninsula, there is also the Temple of Apollo. The scenery, seaside, and marketes were beautiful. When I got to Catania, I walked many of the wonderful and lively streets. I enjoyed great street food, local culture and architecture near the cathedral square, and shopping along Via Etnea. If you like to walk like I do check out the scenes along Corso Italia, Via Pacini, Via Umberto I, and the various piazzas. I hope you enjoy my travel videos! Please come back and check out the highlights from my latest trips.

Italy vacations: why Taormina is one of the best places to visit in Sicily...
Are you planning your next Sicily holidays and you are wondering where to stay in Sicily and what to in this amazing island?
As a tour planner dedicated to our beloved Sicily we help you experience the island from a different point of view and we recommend you to stay in Taormina, the jewel of Sicily!
Because of the strategic location and the Greek soul, Taormina is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The town was built on a fertile hill (200 m above a turquoise sea) and overlooks the beautiful bay of Isola Bella with a spectacular view of Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe.
Taormina combines the natural beauty with the artistic and archaeological heritage: in addition to the nice cathedral and the streets of the old town, Taormina is famous for its ancient theater (built by the Greeks around the second century bC), that is the place of important music and theatre shows, especially during the summer.
Taormina was originally the center of Hellenistic culture, it has attracted the attention of many artists and writers in modern times and today is the most fashionable destination in Sicily.
It is possible to combine the guided walking tour of Taormina with the visit of Mt. Etna and a great lunch and wine tasting at a winery on the slopes of the tallest active volcano in Europe.
On request we can provide you with a licensed English speaking tourist guide to experience a great guided tour of Taormina.
Since we arrange a private vehicle with an English speaking driver your experience in Taormina is always fully customizable.
For further information about the guided tours of Taormina and other amazing tailored experiences in Sicily please visit our web-site (you can combine many exciting experiences in a bespoke private tour of Sicily):
If you are interested in a small group tour of Sicily, this is the link to join our Sicily Lovers' Tour, a high quality and comfortable tour that will take place from August 31 to September 13, 2020):
If you will stay in Taormina and you want to discover all the possible day trips from Taormina please visit this page:

Catania - Sicily, Italy - GoPro Cinematic Look | AlexUrsake.ro
The best camera is the one you have with you. I often came across shots with a lot of potential that I just passed up because I didn't have the big fancy camera with me. Instead of pulling the phone out of my pocket (in this case the GoPro), I completely gave up on the idea thinking that the end result will not be good enough.
The same thing was about to happen in my recent city break in Catania (Italy), but empowerd by the beauty of this Sicilian region I decided to change the purpose of the GoPro from 'witness in the chaotic italian trafic' into 'emotions immortalizer' that I share with you in this short video.
You can see in the clip: Aci Castello, Aci Trezza, Porto Ognina, Basilica della Collegiata, Universita Degli Studi Di Catania, Fontana dell'Elefante, Basilica Cattedrale Sant'Agata, Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi all’Immacolata, Castello Ursino, Piazza Duomo.
*Disclaimer: I edited and colour graded/corected the video in Premiere Pro. The main idea of this clip is that you can obtain good results with a point and shoot, an action camera, a smartphone etc. if you add a little bit of passion and some work in post production.
------------------------------------
RO:
Cea mai buna camera e cea pe care o ai cu tine. De multe ori ajung in situatia in care imi ies in cale cadre foto/video cu foarte mult potential pe care nu le surprind in nici un fel pentru ca nu am cu mine camera profesionala (scumpa). In loc sa scot telefonul din buzunar (in cazul de fata GoPro-ul) renunt complet la idee gandindu-ma ca rezultatul final nu va fi pe masura asteptarilor.
La fel era sa se intample si in cel mai recent city break in Catania, doar ca manat fiind de frumusetea locurilor din aceasta regiune siciliana am schimbat scopul GoPro-ului din 'martor in haoticul trafic italian' in 'imortalizator de emotii' pe care le impartasesc in clipu de mai jos.
In clip apar urmatoarele: Aci Castello, Aci Trezza, Porto Ognina, Basilica della Collegiata, Universita Degli Studi Di Catania, Fontana dell'Elefante, Basilica Cattedrale Sant'Agata, Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi all’Immacolata, Castello Ursino, Piazza Duomo.
*Disclaimer: Clipul a fost editat si gradat in Premiere Pro. Ideea de baza a acestui clip/post e ca puteti obtine rezultate ok chiar si cu un point and shoot, o camera de actiune (GoPro), un telefon mobil etc. daca adaugati putina pasiune si putina munca in postprocesare.
Sicily Holidays - Italy: Things to Do - What, How and Why to visit the Island
If you are planning to spend your holidays in #Sicily, in #Italy, here you’ll find the best tips on things to do in the south east part of the island, with a sightseeing Sicily map on the most relevant points of interest to enjoy, so you can easily imagine and organize your trip to #visitsicily: WHAT to see, HOW to plan your visit, and WHY to discover Sicily in all its beauty!
In this sicily vlog:
- WHAT are the major attractions that you can't go home without having seen, the best of Sicily, including Etna mountain, Enna, The Stair of the Turks, Valley of the Temples, Cava Randello natural reserve, Portopalo di Capopassero, Marzamemi village, the baroque cities of Noto, Modica and Ragusa, the natural reserve of Plemmirio, Syracuse (Cathedral of Syracuse, the Castello Maniace, Arethusa fountain, Neapolis archaeological with its Roman amphitheater, Greek theatre and the Ear of Dionysius), Villa Romana del Casale, Punta Secca, Catania and Taormina.
- Then, I’ll describe to you HOW to follow an easy tour to better visit the Sicily destinations, with a clear sightseeing Sicily map.
Finally, we’ll discover WHY to visit Sicily, with his rich historic and nature.
WHAT
Starting from Catania, the first attraction not to be missed is Etna, taking the cable car. (Google Maps:
The Etna volcano is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and is in an almost constant state of activity.
After Etna, I suggest you reach the southern coast. If you want, you can make an intermediate stop to visit the city of Enna.
The Stair of the Turks (Google Maps: white limestone steps shaped by nature, the turquoise color of the sea and the fine sand beaches that border it…you will love it!
Valley of the Temples (Google Maps:
The Valley of the Temples is the largest archaeological site in the world! 8 temples are visible in the valley.
Along the southern coast, I suggest you visit Cava Randello natural reserve (Google Maps: and Portopalo di Capopassero (Google Maps:
On the east coast, if you can, visit Marzamemi village (Google Maps: and the baroque city of Noto (Google Maps: but don't miss absolutely the natural reserve of Plemmirio (Google Maps: and, of course, Syracuse (Google Maps:
Modica o Ragusa o Noto: The Baroque towns of Noto, Modica and Ragusa are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Just take a walk through the historic centers to enjoy palaces, churches and cathedrals.
Parco Marino del Plemmirio: Close to Syracuse, there are a lot of beautiful small coves, but the best landscape you can admire is Parco del Plemmirio.
Syracuse and Ortigia Island:
This 2,700-year-old city played a key role in ancient times, becoming one of the greatest cities of the Western Greek migration.
In the charming Ortigia Island, visit the Cathedral of Syracuse, which was previously a Doric temple; the Castello Maniace and Arethusa fountain.
In the modern city of Syracuse visit Neapolis archaeological park.
HOW
The best way to visit Sicilyis by car, following a tour like the one showed in the video, where between each location there is no more than 2 hours. You can travel along this circle in the direction you prefer.
If you have more time, you could add some other attractions to visit:
Villa Romana del Casale, a roman villa which contains some of the best and most complex mosaics from the Roman Empire
Punta Secca, a fishing village famous to be the set of the TV series “Il commissario Montalbano”
the Baroque towns Modica and Ragusa
the city of Catania
and the tourist destination of Taormina.
WHY
The signs of history which surround Sicily.
And nature here is something remarkable.
We all know that Italian food is something special, and in the video you’ll find four deliciousness absolutely to taste:
granita
arancino
cannolo e cassata
But the most intense attraction of Sicily is the atmosphere that you breathe, of times gone, and the air that smells of salt and freedom!

One Day in Taormina, Sicily | Sicilian Almond Granita
In this episode we had the day to explore Taormina, Sicily… which a little time at the end in Messina, Italy. As with many southern Italian towns… Taormina can trace its roots even earlier than the Greeks, and has a rich and vibrant history.
We enjoyed Almond & Pistachio Granita (a Sicilian treat) and only regretted not buying tickets in advance for the Ancient theatre of Taormina built in the 3rd century BC by the Greeks.
Otherwise it was a thoroughly lovely day with so much to see and explore.

We love each other, living life, and exploring the world together. Since getting married in 2009, much of that time Mindi was in school and our ability to travel was limited. As foodies and people who appreciate art and culture, we couldn’t wait to explore the world together.
We’ve been inspired by many vloggers to begin documenting our journey’s. This started as a way to make our experiences more real, and to help us keep track of where we’ve been.

Sicily Adventure Trips
Sicily adventure trips - Eternal meeting point between East and West, Africa and Europe, the gorgeous island of Sicily is a linchpin of Mediterranean culture and one of Europe's most alluring destinations.
Seductively beautiful and perfectly placed in the heart of the Mediterranean, Sicily has been luring passersby since the time of legends. The land of Scylla, Charybdis and the Cyclops has been praised by poets from Homer to Virgil and prized by the many ancient cultures -- Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans and Greeks -- whose bones lie buried here. Whether in the classical perfection of Agrigento's Concordia temple, the monumental rubble of Selinunte's columns or the rare grace of a dancing satyr statue rescued from Mazara del Vallo's watery depths, reminders of bygone civilisations are everywhere.
Magic Sicily adventure trips...
Sicily: Ragusa & Siracusa with Sarah Murdoch | Rick Steves Travel Talks
Southeastern Sicily gets overlooked by many travelers. And that's a shame. In this travel talk, Rick Steves' Europe co-author and tour guide Sarah Murdoch explains why the sleepy, historic hill town of Ragusa is a wonderful home base for touring this undiscovered corner of Sicily, with side-trips to pristine Noto and chocolate-crazy Modica. Then we'll visit Siracusa, from the ruins of ancient Syracuse to the appealing old-town island of Ortigia. Sarah also offers an explanation of Sicily's unique cuisine and aficionado-pleasing wines.

Taormina - I suonatori mediterranei in Marina
Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways from Messina from the north and Catania .Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
A stay at Taormina is not just a seaside vacation. This area, rich in charm and history, must be experienced in a spirit that is outside the ordinary, and for one simple reason: here, everything is extraordinary. Every stone is a thousand-year-old piece of history, the glorious sea reflects Taormina's beauty, as it shapes and marks the passage of time, and the places that enchanted the Greeks create to this day a vibrant and exciting ambiance. But trying to describe in words what makes Taormina unique is truly difficult.
Taormina è un comune di 10.991 abitanti della provincia di Messina. E' uno dei centri balneari di maggiore rilievo di tutta la regione. Il suo aspetto, il suo paesaggio, i suoi luoghi, le sue bellezze riescono ad attirare turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.
Situata su una collina a 206 m di altezza sul livello del mare , sospesa tra rocce e mare su un terrazzo del monte Tauro, in uno scenario di bellezze naturali unico per varietà e contrasti di motivi , splendore di colori e lussureggiante vegetazione . Il clima è dolcemente mite. Estate : caldo umido con temperature che arrivano fino a 40° e rare volte più di 40° , piogge scarse durante l'estate, ma non si tratta di un clima arido. Molto belle le mezze stagioni , Primavera e Autunno infatti vantano un clima ideale mite.
La storia di Taormina è sicuramente costellata da molteplici dominazioni, e questo è possibile vederlo passeggiando per le strade del centro storico che mostrano i segni lasciati dai vari popoli passati per Taomina. Essendo situata al centro del mediterraneo la Sicilia fu sempre una preda ambita per la sua posizione strategica di passaggio,situata sulla parte est e in posizione fortificata su una collina permetteva già da allora di controllare buona parte della costa ionica e ha sempre rappresentato un ottimo punto di fortificazione e controllo nelle stradegie di guerra. Dopo aver attestato l'esistenza di una sede di siculi ( antichi abitanti dell'isola, detti anche sicani) presso Taormina, per certo vi passarono e vi lasciarono le loro tracce I Greci, i Romani, i Saraceni, dunque gli Arabi, i Bizantini ,I Normanni , Gli Aragonesi , e per ultimi i Borboni.
Un soggiorno a Taormina non è semplicemente una vacanza al mare. Questi luoghi, pregni di storia e di fascino, chiedono infatti di essere vissuti con uno spirito diverso da quello comune e la ragione è semplice: qui tutto è fuori dall'ordinario.
Ogni pietra reca in sé una storia millenaria, il mare meraviglioso su cui Taormina riflette tutta la sua bellezza, condiziona e scandisce lo scorrere del tempo ed i luoghi che furono l'incanto dei greci trasmettono tutt'oggi un'atmosfera vibrante di emozioni. Ma tentare di descrivere con le parole ciò che rende unica Taormina è davvero difficile
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean.
It lies on a seismic fault and has for centuries suffered earthquakes and eruptions. The island's most striking feature is Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. The coastline is beautiful. Two of the most visited attractions in Sicily are the Aeolian Islands and Taormina, with its spectacular backdrop - snow capped Etna. The largely mountainous interior is sparsely populated but the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts are lush. For 3,000 years the Mediterranean was the epicentre of the Western world and Sicily its focal point. The Greeks dominated between 6th century BC and 480BC. Agrigento, Selinunte, Segesta and Syracuse, with its theatre, were Greek cities. A visit to the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento is an amazing experience. Then the Romans came, followed by the Arabs who made the magical city of Palermo their capital. Normans, then the Roman church overlaid their influence upon this mix creating a dynamic culture with a delicious and varied cuisine - the island is famed for its incredibly sweet deserts!
