More than a hiking route we can define it as a walk dedicated to photography. The route goes around the promontory of Taormina passing from the Etna side to the Messina side and vice versa. It starts from Porta Catania to continue on via Roma.

At the height of Monte Tauro you enter the Villa Comunale and continue along its panoramic avenue to the opposite end at the height of Diodorus.

Leaving the villa, continue on via Roma until you cross the SP10 or Via Pirandello. One hundred meters after the intersection there is Piazzetta Belvedere which overlooks Isola Bella.
