The route starts from Piazza Franz Pagano to go up in the area called Zappulla. From there you go down through a small Eucalyptus wood to the valley from where you start to climb.

Along the climb, after a hundred meters, you come to a panoramic curve that overlooks a rocky ridge.

Going on you continue to climb and the point of view becomes more and more interesting because it allows you to frame Taormina from a privileged perspective.

From there you go down to take the Salita dei Saraceni, an ancient path used to connect Taormina to Castelmola. The area in question is called the fig floor.
