Skiing in Sicily on the Etna volcano

Paul — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:50:00 +0000

The winter is almost here again and apart from cold weather here on the villages of the Etna volcano, it also means that it is ski season on the Etna.

So many people associate Sicily with sunshine, beaches and great food, but not with skiing. On the Etna though it is normally covered in snow in the peak of season and although not as good skiing as the Italian or French alps, if you want to ski somewhere different and unusual, the Etna is it.

Every few years the Etna erupts in the summer time and this means that lava covered the ski lifts and then the Etna ski resort needs rebuilding (see BBC story attached). Providing there has not been a major eruption the previous summer, you should then be able to ski the Etna. More on Etna skiing on the Invest Sicily Sports page.

Taormina Property and Real estate focus

Paul — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 20:14:00 +0000

Taormina is a stunning small village on the East coast of Sicily which attracts the stars and everyone looking for a scenic town with beautiful beachside property and with cute shopping streets, restaurants and a roman theatre with a stunning distant view of Mount Etna.

The properties, real estate and villas here offer excellent rental opportunities and even on a fairly low budget, buying a 1 bedroom apartment near to the village centre, can be well worth considering. For some apartments on sale at this time take a look at Taormina Property and Real estate.

You can also learn more about Taormina and atractions. The beach itself is at the bottom of a cliff and is accessible via some steep steps (excellent exercise) or via a cable car. On top of the cliff, are the main hotels, B&B's, shops and restaurants.

Next time we will take a look at Catania and the Real Estate market.
