    The Strait of Messina is a strait that connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea and separates Sicily from Calabria , therefore, from mainland Italy and from the continent .
    Since ancient times, the Strait of Messina has always been a place full of charm and fascination that has contributed significantly to create the many myths associated with it, the navigation of the strait, in fact, had a very bad reputation in ancient times and really presents considerable difficulties especially for the swift and irregular currents. One of the myths is that of Scylla and Charybdis.

    WALKING TOUR OF TAORMINA


    1. CORSO UMBERTO

    messina-corsa-umberto


    Taormina’s main street is Corso Umberto I. It is about one kilometre long through the old medieval town from one ancient gateway to another, from Piazza Sant’ Antonio to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.
    It has pedestrian only status so it is to stroll along and look at the shop windows or sit down for a nice caffé or ice cream. Piazza Duomo attracts a lot of people and the impressive Church of San Nicola dominates the square.
    To the right of the piazza is Via Teatro Greco. A walk along this short street will bring you to the Greco Romana Theatre.

    Taormina is located on a terrace of Mont Tauro, dominating the sea with views of Mt Etna. Over the centuries it has welcomed writers like Oscar Wilde, D.H. Lawrance, artists like Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Marlena Dietrich, aristocrats and royalty. Taormina seems far removed from the economic realities of other Sicilian cities.
