The island takes the form of twin volcanic cones dotted with
prickly pear and the cubic whitewashed island homes, their
verandahs draped with bougainvillea.
Returning from the islands we view Taormina, an ancient cliff-top
town acclaimed by Goethe and D.H. Lawrence for its beauty.
We return for a day visit later. Renowned is the view from
its Greco-Roman theatre out along the coast line to the grandeur
of Mt Etna. Every corner of Taormina is picturesque, as are
the walks to the islands below, and to the towns and fortresses
above.
