Island from a post card 🏖️ (Sicily East Coast Ep8) #italyvibes
Every view in Taormina felt like it was from an old postcard.
There scenes had become so iconic and widely recognized that, to my younger eyes, they seemed almost clichéd — even though I hadn’t yet reached those faraway places.
Compared to other attractions here, like the minimal yet elegant Chiesa di San Giuseppe facade, the still-operating ancient Greek-Roman theatre and its Mt. Etna view, I didn’t feel anything special about Isola Bella.
In fact I didn’t bother walking down the steps to the beach because of the sun heat. Instead, I found a belvedere near my hotel, sat there, and just watched.
This is an episode from my Sicily series.
