Ancient Theatre of Taormina

The view of Mount Etna and the sea beyond is absolutely superb at Taormina's 10,000-seat ancient Greek amphitheater, which was erected in the third century BC and expanded by the Romans.

This theater and its location are stunning -- I'm surprised this isn't a more widely known attraction in Italy or even all of Europe. The history here (both Greek and Roman) and the spectacular beauty and setting of this coastal town (with an active volcano steaming in the background) make this a MUST when visiting Sicily.

Sito archeologico di Tindari (Patti, Me)

Reviewed By FroggyLein23

Pompeii is a larger scale and a well known site that is a must see however if you like serenity, breath taking views, and no crowds, then you also need to visit Tindari. I first visited Tindari via private tour guide in the afternoon and found the site in good condition: It has a small theater, mosaics located in bath quarters, a large structure with arches ( the gymnasium) and a small museum. Across from ancient site you can see the Church that houses the statue of the Black Madonna also worth seeing. My second visit later on same week was Pompeii. I arrived with a large tour at 9am opening time, however I found site to be exhausting from large crowds of tourists but worth a visit.
