We stayed at the Hotel Villa Esperia in Mazzara, on the seashore near Taormina. We had beautiful views from the terrace |
Stavamu al'Hotel Villa Esperia a Mazzara, lungumare vicinu Taormina, Avivimmu visti beddi dû terrazzu. |
|
Near Mazzara and Taormina is Isola Bella. Jackie tried the water on the stony beach. |
Vicinu Mazzara e Taormina c'e Isula Bedda. Jacalina pruvà l'aqua ncapu i petri. |

We
visited Taomina on the heights above the shore,
and saw a Triskelion, ancient symbol of Sicily,
and a local church. That evening, we ate at a restaurant
with an ocean view and saw the red full moon rise over the
Ionian Sea
and the rooftops. |
Visitamu Taormina nelli antizzi ncapu del'lungumari e videmmu
'na
Trincria, stemma anziana della Sicilia, e 'na chiesa lucali.
Sa sera, mangiamu al'risturanti cu 'na vista del Mari Ionico e vidimmu
la luna russa e china tramuntannu ncapu lu mari e i tetti. |

Taomina, like most Sicilian towns, has a church, or in this case a castle, on the Calvario, or the 'top of the skull' of the highest peak. The town is a busy tourism center, as can be seen by the crowded streets and the array of booklets in many languages. |
Taormina, comu i maggiori dei paisi Siciliani, havi 'na chiesa, o in chistu casu, un castellu, ncapu lu Calvariu o la cima della montagna cchiù anta. U paisi e un centru di turismu, chi si pu vidiri nelli stradi occupati e i libretti in tanti lingui. |

Above Taormina is an ancient Greek theatre, from which Mount Etna, or Mongibello can be seen, with the Ionian Sea to the left, and the town with its castle-crowned peak to the right. 'Mongibello' is the local name, from the Latin 'mons', which means 'mountain', and the Arabic 'gibelli', which also means 'mountain'. So the name literally means 'Mount Mountain'. |
Ncapu di Taormina, c'é un tiatru Grecu anticu, d'unni la Muntagna Etna, o Mungibeddu si pu vidiri, cu u Mari Jonico a mani manca, e u paisi cu su castellu al'cima a mani dirittu. 'Mungibeddu' e lu nnomu lucali, del'Latinu 'mons', chi voli diri 'muntagna' e u Arabicu 'gibelli' chi anchi voli diri 'montagna'. Percio, u nnomu pi daveru voli diri 'Munti Muntagna'. |
