Taormina – What a Gem! (home of the Worlds most expensive sandwich)
Taormina is somewhere I haven't visited before so I was thrilled to find that it was one of the ports of call on my recent Silversea trip. We docked, at anchor, just off Giardini Naxos, got the tender across and then got private taxi's up the hill to Taormina. Oh…
