Castelmola, Taormina

Nestled on Mount Tauro at 550 metres above sea level, Castelmola is a steep 2.5 km hike from Taormina, approached via Via Cuculunazzo.

Nestled on Mount Tauro at 550 metres above sea level, Castelmola is a steep 2.5 km hike from Taormina, approached via Via Cuculunazzo. You can also drive up on SP10 to reach the lofty village with the beautiful ruins of a 13th century castle, an imposing Duomo, the Chiesa di San Giorgio, and City Hall. Get great views of the Sicilian countryside, all the way upto the smouldering Mount Etna and beyond. There are several restaurants and cafes in Castelmola, of which the best known is the phallic-themed Turrisi Bar. The intense and sweet Mandorla (almond wine) is a local specialty worth trying. The Scuola Internazionale di Falconeria (International School of Falconry) in the castle puts on daily shows with trained falcons and eagles in the summer months of April to October.
