Elizabeth and James’ journey through Sicily takes an exciting turn. While strolling through Taormina, the English couple meets two fellow travelers, Sarah and Michael,
Elizabeth and James continue to be captivated by Sicily's charm. After days of breathtaking discoveries, the English couple is ready for another adventure. This time, the destination is Montalbano Elicona, a village once crowned the most beautiful in Italy, and Capo d’Orlando, a gem on the Tyrrhenian coast.
Departure to Montalbano Elicona: Discovering a Fairytale Village
Early in the morning, we arrive at their hotel in Taormina, finding Elizabeth and James excitedly waiting.
"Good morning, Marco! We've heard so much about Montalbano Elicona," says Elizabeth with a radiant smile.
"And the megaliths sound fascinating! We can’t wait to see them," adds James.
"Good morning! You’re going to love this trip. Montalbano Elicona is a place where history, legends, and stunning views come together. And Capo d’Orlando in the afternoon will offer you a perfect mix of relaxation and charm," we reply.
The drive to Montalbano Elicona takes us through rolling hills dotted with olive groves, forests, and picturesque villages. The crisp morning air and clear skies promise an unforgettable day.
Montalbano Elicona: A Timeless Medieval Village
Upon arrival, Montalbano Elicona welcomes us with its enchanting atmosphere. Narrow cobblestone streets, stone houses, and the majestic castle towering over the village transport visitors to another era.
"This feels like stepping into a fairy tale," exclaims Elizabeth as she strolls through flower-adorned alleys.
"Every corner tells a story," adds James, capturing the architectural details with his camera.
Our first stop is the Castle of Frederick II, built in the 13th century. The local guide explains that the castle served as a summer residence for King Frederick II of Aragon and as a fortress to protect the villagers.
"From here, you can enjoy one of the most stunning views of the Nebrodi Mountains," says the guide.
"It’s breathtaking!" replies James, admiring the panorama.
Inside the castle, we visit the Palatine Chapel, featuring ancient frescoes, and rooms that host exhibitions about the village’s history.
"The history here is so rich. You can feel the centuries of life that have passed through these walls," says Elizabeth.
The Argimusco Megaliths: Nature and Mystery
After exploring the village, we head to the Argimusco Plateau, a breathtaking area near Montalbano Elicona, renowned for its megaliths. These natural rock formations, shaped by wind and water, resemble human and animal figures, sparking legends and mysteries.
"These rocks are incredible! They look like they were sculpted by someone," observes James, fascinated.
"Many believe they were used for ancient rituals," explains the guide. "This area is often called the ‘Sicilian Stonehenge.’"
We walk among the megaliths, marveling at the Eagle Rock, resembling an eagle’s head, and the Woman’s Rock, which looks like a female figure.
"It’s amazing how nature can create something so artistic and mysterious at the same time," says Elizabeth.
"And the energy here feels so special," adds James, visibly moved.
Lunch with a View: The Flavors of the Nebrodi Mountains
For lunch, we stop at a traditional restaurant nestled in nature, where Elizabeth and James savor the authentic flavors of the Nebrodi region:
- Rustic appetizers with local salami, cheeses, olives, and freshly baked bread.
- Maccheroni with pork ragu for James.
- Porcini mushrooms sautéed with garlic and herbs for Elizabeth.
- A glass of hazelnut liqueur to finish.
"This is one of the best meals we’ve had so far," says James.
"And the setting makes it even more special," adds Elizabeth, gazing at the surrounding hills.
Capo d’Orlando: Seaside Serenity
After lunch, we head to Capo d’Orlando, one of the most charming seaside towns on the Tyrrhenian coast. Along the way, Elizabeth and James relax, enjoying the view as the sea draws closer.
At Capo d’Orlando, the village greets us with its lively atmosphere and the scent of the sea. Our first stop is the Andrea Doria Promenade, where Elizabeth and James stroll along the beach, enjoying the salty breeze.
"This is so peaceful. It’s the perfect way to end the day," says Elizabeth.
"And the sea is so blue! It’s incredible," adds James.
We also visit the Capo d’Orlando Lighthouse, one of the town’s landmarks. From the lighthouse, the view opens up to the Aeolian Islands, visible on the horizon.
"This view is magical. I can’t believe how beautiful Sicily is," comments Elizabeth, snapping photos of the sunset.
A Farewell to Sicily and Return to Taormina
We end the day with a light dinner at a seaside restaurant, where Elizabeth and James enjoy fresh seafood dishes and toast with a glass of Sicilian white wine.
During the drive back to Taormina, the couple reflects on the day’s experience.
"Today was absolutely perfect. Montalbano Elicona and Capo d’Orlando are two completely different worlds, but both so enchanting," says James.
"We’re falling more and more in love with Sicily every day," adds Elizabeth.
