Trail to Train Station — Attraction in Taormina

Five stars because this was the only way for me to catch my early flight from Catania. My flight was at 09:30 and I had to take the train at 06:26 from Taormina. I couldn't find any other options which would let me arrive at the airport at my desired time. I'm used to hiking and I don't find this trail challenging, therefore take my advice only if you're also an athletic person. I climbed this trail up and down a few times to get to the beach as well, so for me it's not difficult at all. I had to carry my small luggage and my backpack too on my way down to the train station.

despite the dangers, if you’re adequately prepared and know what to expect then i’d recommend it for the stunning views. just be careful and...

Saved me 50€ for taxi from Taormina to Giardini (train station) for no more than 3km drive. I asked Intercity bus office if there is line to Giardini and they ruined my day with a "no".

But man do, what man got to do:

Dragged the luggage down the trail.

The view is splendid. Wish luck to whoever decided to go uphill on the scorching sun. If you have to go FROM the station to Taormina, walk to the cable car lower station and then for 3€ you'll go up in Taormina.

Friendly advice, think twice before going up, just walk/bus to...
