The Castle

The Castle, Castelmola

 ICBT Says:  It's not called Castelmola for nothing. Although little more than four walls, the castle at the top of the moutain is worth the climb if only for the view. It's accessible by a long staircase. Just below it, along the path, is a large restaurant with a huge cliffside patio....

 Castel Mola is located 5 km away from Taormina. It is a small village, quieter than Taormina, but it is also worth a visit. The road to Castel Mola can be dangerous as it is very narrow and there......
