Taormina to Cefalù via Mt Etna

A fascinating drive today, around the NE slopes ofMt Etna, to a fortress hill town and down to the coast at Cefalu. 


Firstly breakfast in Taormina


Then up through the villages on Mt Etna slopes



Lots of flowering cassia


And lava fields


Etna smoking behind the wildflowers


A stop on Randazzo village

















Looking back to Randazzo 


We were then taken on some amazing narrow and scenic byroads by our somewhat misguided car navigation system.. 



..to the hilltop village of San Marco D’Alunzo 




Down to the coast and along the autostrata to Cefalu and our accommodation at Hotel Kalura 





After a swim, we walked in to Cefalu old town, buzzing with tourists 







We had dinner at Masquenada restaurant 






Then strolled home in the late evening light




A pop art distraction
