Leaving the town by the state road we come to the pretty beach of Mazzarò, a bathing resort of great tourist interest, with Isola Bella just off it, and Taormina behind it. If you climb up to the right above Taormina, there are yet more stupendous views of Etna on one side and of the sea on the other .
