Day 3
Taormina
Embedded Files
Along the coast heading north this time with the train to the village of Taormina.
Price ticket train: around 5,5€ pro Person one way, duration ca. 50 min
Live camera: here
Updates volcanic activity: here
Initial plan was to go to Mount Etna (by bus or to rent a car again), but it snowed the night before. Mount Etna has its own climate in comparison to the rest of the island, so some research is required before visiting (weather, volcanic activity, etc). The simple tourist clothing for the island might not be enough for altitudes over 2000 m with rapid weather changing.

The Volcano was visible through the entire ride as well from the hills of Taormina.
