Advantages: Beautiful Culture and Scenery Disadvantages: Mad Drivers in traffic choked streets!
Taormina - Undeniably special, a very pretty hillside town and one of our favourite Sicilian holiday locations. Although expensive to stay here it is well worth coming here. Taormina is high on Monte Tauro so you have to travel downwards to the two bays below if you wish to visit the beach, Giardini-Naxos. We stayed in Villa Belevdere, via Bagnoli Croce, situated in the cliff, views absolutley stunning of the Bay of Naxos. We stayed here in early September, and loved the gardens and pool. Although there is no restaurant in the evening here, the local trattorias
are only a few minutes stroll away. Very busy place during June and September, very crowded with tourists in the main street Corso Umberto, but what an atmosphere! Music everywhere, and street entertainers! Absolutely fantastic. You walk alot here, as it is the best way ...

Advantages: Soothing, laid back, top guitar and piano Disadvantages: Some slightly weaker tracks
evidence here. It's quite a quirky song overall, but it has a certain flow that can't be ignored. Superb combination of organ, piano, keyboards, and, of course, the classic Rea guitar.

'Bonus Track' according to the inlay, but it seems more like 'Track 13' to me! Not a bad track at all, especially the chorus, which has a certain uplifting feel to it. Hammond organ used in a more poppy way that usual, but this makes an excellent finish to the album.
- Sur laplage est un bon artiste
Overall, this is a great album ? it has one or two not as strong tracks ? but they're all generally listenable, and the good tracks are VERY good. Chris showing his talent again with some top guitar work, and the general chilled feel of the album is a refreshing change. Great! ...
Advantages: historicaly interesting, prety town, great views Disadvantages: long train journet from Palermo
Taormina is a very pretty town on the Eastern coast of Sicily. We took a very slow train journey from Palermo along the North coast, which took the best part of a day, having to change and wait in Messina. When you get to Taormina station you will find yourself at the bottom of the hill so you would need to hire a taxi or wait for a local bus to take you up to the town. The buses didn't seem too predictable but then we were arriving on a Sunday. All other information pointed to the weekday service being somewhat more reliable. However, when you get up into the town you will realise that the journey is well worth it. Taormina is a very pretty historic town. Visit the amphitheatre for fantastic views of Mount Etna. A walk up a steep path behind the town affords more spectacular vies of Etna and the coast
The town can basically be ...
