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.

The day begins early, with Marco arriving promptly in front of their hotel. The couple, full of enthusiasm, is ready to discover new wonders, but not before enjoying a typical Sicilian breakfast.

A Typical Sicilian Breakfast: Pistachio Granita

"Marco, yesterday you told us about the breakfast with pistachio granita from Bronte and brioche," says Chloé smiling. "We can't start the tour without trying it!"

"There's no better way to start the day," replies Marco with a smile. The granita, fresh and creamy, accompanied by a soft brioche, leaves Chloé and Gabriel thrilled. "It's incredible, I've never tasted anything like this!" comments Gabriel, while Chloé nods in satisfaction.

The Fish Market of Catania

After this delicious break, the group heads to the lively fish market of Catania. "This market is the beating heart of the city," explains Marco. "Here you can see the locals at work, with shouts, colors, and scents that tell the story of everyday life."

Chloé and Gabriel are fascinated by the chaotic and authentic atmosphere. The smell of fresh fish, the noise of haggling, and the sight of stalls brimming with all kinds of fish create a unique spectacle. "This is an incredible experience!" exclaims Gabriel as he observes a huge swordfish freshly caught.

The Monastery of the Benedictines and the Climb of San Giuliano

After the market, Marco takes them to the Monastery of the Benedictines, one of the largest monastic complexes in Europe. "This monastery was built on the hill to be protected from the eruptions of Mount Etna," explains Marco. "The hills were considered safer during the Middle Ages, as they protected against both lava flows and floods."

"It's majestic," comments Chloé, as she admires the impressive Baroque architecture. "I've never seen anything like it."

The group continues along the Climb of San Giuliano, one of the most picturesque streets in Catania, admiring the historic palaces lining it.

Strolling Along Via Etnea and Piazza Stesicoro

The visit continues along Via Etnea, the main street of Catania, passing through Piazza Università with its iconic four candelabra, each telling a legend linked to the city. "Each legend is connected to Catania's history and traditions," explains Marco, adding a touch of mystery to the walk.

When the group reaches Piazza Stesicoro, Gabriel is fascinated by the ruins of the ancient Roman theater, partly hidden beneath the modern streets of the city. "It doesn't seem that big from the outside, but is it said to be second only to the Colosseum?" asks Gabriel.

"Yes, most of the theater is underground," replies Marco. "You can only imagine how imposing it was in the past."

Lunch and Visit to the Cyclops Coast

After a morning rich in history and culture, Marco takes Chloé and Gabriel to a local trattoria, where they enjoy a lunch of Sicilian dishes. With full stomachs, the journey continues towards the Cyclops Coast, a stretch of rocky coastline steeped in legend.

"According to mythology, these enormous rocks are the ones thrown by the Cyclops Polyphemus at Ulysses," Marco explains as he drives along the coast. "It's a place where nature and myth come together."

Chloé, enchanted by the volcanic rock formations emerging from the azure sea, says, "It's incredible how every place in Sicily is tied to a story or a legend."

End of the Day

As the sun sets, painting the sky orange, Chloé and Gabriel reflect on the wonders they have discovered. "Every day in Sicily is an adventure that leads us to discover something new and surprising," comments Gabriel.

"We were lucky to see so many places in one day," adds Chloé. "And it feels like there's still so much more to explore."

"I'm glad you enjoyed the day," concludes Marco with a smile. "Sicily still has many stories and legends ready to amaze you."
