Sicily2005-40 : 3 day Summer holiday in Catania, Taormina and Gardini Naxos in Sicily, Italy(Aug/05) |

Despite being hungry, we spent plenty of time to search
a good restaurant with a nice view, and after walking
in several narrow roads, we met a restaurant with this
marvelous view. Malin ordered a Calabrese cheese salad,
and I opted for grilled swordfish. We were both happy
with the quality and taste of the food, though a plate
of french fries costing 4Eur was too much high. The
view shows the long coastline of 'LungoMare' (5km at
least) of Gardini Naxos which large part of it is public
beaches. At the right bottom there is an elevator

facing the fantastic view shown above. These houses should be
some high class villas of very rich people. |

Just beside the restaurant, there was a large garden which
was being visited by many tourists. So we went to have
a look, and actually it was a good idea since there where
many nice places and cool wind making this very hot day
feel better. The garden is the main town garden. |

Photo of trees and a monument found in the town garden.
The town Villa, entitled to the duke of Cesaró,
originates from the Cacciola-Trevelyan family's donation
of the 20's.
Inside the garden, among a thick typically mediterranean
vegetation, in the disentangling of hedges and flowerbeds,
the clattered runs connect longitudinally the approximately
three hectares of the park.
The viale planted with olives trees dedicated to the deads
in war runs among the precious essences, some rare and
of extraordinarily beauty.
