Aaahhh that's the gate of my house at 7:41!! Just before getting to the Greek Theatre :) Everyone stops there to take photos, and especially during the peak tourist season leaving the house and getting back inside through the crowd gets a bit difficult haha!
I love seeing visitors enjoying my hometown so much, thank you for showing it in such a lovely light
Hi travelers! đ Iâm a Sicilian guy and I have started to watch your videos some days ago. I fell in love with the style of your videos and watched at least ten of them in less than a week. You are so cute and super cool! When I realized you are in Italy these days I continued watching and understood how beautiful Italy is and how people from abroad really get astonished by it đźđčâ€ïž. Anyway I donât know if you are still in Sicily but if you are, there are some places I would like to recommend to you (even if you would need a lifetime to visit all Italy and it wouldnât be enough đ): the city center of Palermo and of Catania, valley temple in Agrigento, Erice and Siracusa. There are also so many little cute villages (such as Gangi and Marzamemi) but you probably donât have so much time. I hope it is helpful! Good trip guys! đ
Enrico, I am an American of Sicilian ancestry. I spent 3 weeks in Sicily last summer, I agree with you about Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Erice, Trapani. I made it all the way to Enna, starting from Palermo Province. I would also recommend Cefalu, Sciacca, and if someone is interested in archaeology, in addition to the Valley of the Temples, Segesta and Seilinunte are also worth a visit. Piazza Armerina was fascinating as well. Sicily was beautiful. Can't wait to go again. Buon Natale.
Hi! I agree about the other places you mentioned, but my comment was meant to be a little tip for the adventurers, because I knew they would have stayed just a few days. For a longer trip I would have recommended also Marsala and the wines, Scicli and all the Sicilian baroque around Noto, in addition to the ones you mentioned. Ciao e buone feste!
I was holding my breath when you said dessert. I was hoping you would go to Bam Bar. For anyone reading this comment don't miss visiting here! The granita is spectacular. Visiting Taormina and not stopping at this little cafe defeats the purpose of your trip to Sicily! I attended a night time concert at the Teatro Antico. Completely amazing with Mt.Etna fuming and rumbling in the background. Certainly an event of a lifetime!
That sounds amazing! I would love to see a show there.
I second this. Bam Bar is amazing and we were there every day trying the different flavours.
Lane Goodspeed Yes! Bam Bar is definitely a highlight in Sicily!
Isnât Italy incredible? I stayed in a BnB on lake como that was built 600 years ago. We traveled Italy north to south. The history snd scenery and art and architecture and people and food were stellar. I would love to return as soon as the world returns to normal travel again
My husband and I were in Sicily in September. Beautiful Weather...just an extra layer of Clothes on Mt. Etna. The People, the food...we are seriously thinking about returning next year. Hope you get to see the Greek Temples in Agrigento. A trip of a lifetime!
Granita filled brioche is a summer breakfast in Sicily.
Sicilian food is the best Italian style food ...like, EVER. My adoptive mother is 100% Italian-Sicilian and let me tell you- I had the best childhood growing. The food was AH-MAZING! And the desserts were even better. It's common for Sicilian pasta to have an egg. And don't be surprised to find anchovies in your pasta. It's a Sicilian thing. Sicily is definitely on my must-go-to bucket list.
Stacey Not sure there is anything that can be labelled âSicilian foodâ; in common with the rest of Italy, the food varies from region to region and even from town to town.
As just one example, the food of Palermo in the North-West is very different from what you will find in Catania on the East coast.
That said, Italian is one of the great cuisines of the world and found in every country on the planet. My main tip for any visitors, from the US in particular, is to forget what you get in your local Italian back home and when you are in Italy, just choose local dishes...NOT the old familiar names!
I was there in May for a wedding. We took a bus up Mt Etna to that coffee shop and walked around that area. It was freezing and very windy! Taormina is so beautiful as well!
Thumbs up đ my friend! Like đ So beautiful experience!
I was in Taormina in June 2018 and enjoyed it. They sell raw chestnut honey at the Mt Etna base where the tourist shops and stalls are - such good honey...will never forget it. đ
to have seen Italy without having seen sicily is to not have seen Italy at all, for sicily is the clue to everything. -goethe
Italy has rome and Florence, but sicily is beautiful everywhere, and the vegeatbles and fruits that the island produces the flavors are dialed to 11. even the lemons taste sweet, that's why granita is so good, you can eat Sicilian lemons like a tangerine, the figs are like candy, the apricots are like jam, the mulberrys are a treat, the onions and cauliflower and beans and mint and basil, ebrything just taste better. sicily is the best part of Italy and the Italians treat them like second class citizens
I visited Taormina last summer and it was incredible! I especially loved the cannoli; it was the most delicious dessert ever!!!
Sicily is on my bucket list for sure!!! Iâm so glad you guys went đ
Etna is like the dark side of the moon, amazing, loved our visit. My boys and hubby went up in the 4x4 tour and saw the old chair lifts that had been destroyed by a previous eruption, my sons girlfriend and me wandered the lower levels and perused the coffee shop too. The only downside when we went was the plastic waste everywhere.
Just an FYI, in Italy what you guys are calling croissants are actually called cornetti or cornetto (singular). Loving the series, Sicily is on my âto seeâ list and Iâm slowly making my way around all of Italy đ
Usually they are called "cornetti" in the south of Italy, in the north we call them croissants
@@cranci I've bought them numerous times in Rome, Firenze, Venice and Milan and further north from there and they've always been labeled as cornetti/cornetto when I've seen them, I mean how far north in Italy are we talking? like in France?
It seems to me you really appreciated Italy and Iâm very glad of that!! đ đźđč
I visited Mount Etna in late June (nearly ten years ago) and we did a bus tour that brought us all the way up to the top. It was definitely much colder and windier than at ground level, though not nearly as bad as in your video; we were reasonably comfortable in jeans and hoodies. The views from the top were absolutely spectacular. I definitely recommend going if you ever get the chance to go back in warmer weather.
There are times of the year when you can ski on Etna in the morning, then go down to the beach and swim in the sea in the afternoon.
The difference in temperature can sometimes be more than 20C.
Hi guys. It was surreal to bump into you both in Taromina. We still can not belive, what a small world. Its was reall nice to meet you both. Alison you are so cure. Enjoy rest of your travells. Sending love from London. Dorota and Kevin :)
I loved the granita with brioche so much! We definitely spooned the deliciousness on top!
The Med can be a very windy place. I recall taking my life in my hands on the hydrofoil from the Isle of Capri back to Sorrento... The wind just threw it around like a toy... Great Vlog and you can't go too far wrong with fresh, local ingredients in any food... nom nom nom :)
Great professional video you two !!! I'm Irish , been to the top of Mt Etna, Pompeii , Amalfi coast etc in summer . Never been to the cliffs of Moher, yet to do ! WINDY !! went to Achill Island ! Guinness , more legit Gallic Ireland, loved it !
Spending this quarantine time, catching up on lovely travel videos.
Sicily is so cute, and picturesque looking but also beautiful too! Itâs absolutely amazing! Iâd have loved to have that dessert, I looked amazing and the volcano!! đ it would have been so cool to climb up to see it properly!! But alas it was waaaay to windy! It was still beautiful though, definitely loved this video! Canât wait for the next one!
Iâm so happy you guys got to experience my beautiful Island! Mt. Etna is a crazy volcano but we love it regardless!
And I am also glad you enjoyed granita. You canât really find one that tastes as good it does in Sicily anywhere else...âĄ
We were there in October. The theater was in better shape - seats near the bottom and a wooden platform stage. Knew the stage was coming down as the season was over. Etna WAS WINDY for us too. Wish I could post a few photos here to share - Gondolas to take tourists higher up the mountain, etc.
Mark DiGennaro The theatre is fitted out with proper seating and all the correct safety features during the summer when there is a full season of concerts, bands, opera, visiting orchestras, etc. During the rest of the year it is largely stripped back to the ancient BC basics; â...in better shapeâ is a bit harsh!
Hi we are visiting Taomina in October this year and donât know what to expect weather wise - any advice on what type of clothes to pack would be much appreciated
@@chrissie.0864 Wish I could offer specific advice, but I cannot. I suggest you view weather forecasts for the week you are going. The difference between early October and late can be very drastic when thinking of packing clothes!
Beautiful BAM-BAR! Look at the tables and wall decorations! Amazing!
Thanks for the vid. One of my favourite tv series is set in Sicily, 'Inspector Montalbano'.
On your next trip to Sicily, you need to visit Cefalu. It is a seaside town about 50 miles east of Palermo. It is a cute town and you can climb LA Rocca. It has ruins on the top with beautiful views. You also need to check out Scala dei Turchi, which in near Agrigento. You can also contact my friend in Cefalu, Saro Cangelosi. He runs a travel company, GuKan Viaggi(FB page) in Cefalu. If anyone needs assistance traveling around Sicily. You can also go to Corleone Italy, it has a coffee/gelato shop that has pictures of the Godfather movie. Sicily has so many wonderful little towns to explore. Hope to see you on the road.
Have you ever considered doing a calendar?? The locales you go to are so picturesque. And you have really good photography skills. Thanks for your content, going where we canât and doing what we canât do.
I would definitely buy their calendar!
So fun to go up the mountain, interesting, thanks for video
I love all of your videos. Every time I watch one I wish you were staying longer.
According to Wikipedia Mount Etna has erupted many times in the 20th Century, so it looks like your postcard was very authentic. Wow, going up the side of an active Volcano is so cool. Very nice editing and storytelling.
"It's really just a beautiful love story at the end of the day." Ha ha ha! You guys are so funny. I would really like to see Sicily.
5:04 How delicious that coffee looks! Same for that at 13:59! Just like an espresso beverage served "for here (or there)" at some coffee shops in my native Missouri.
oh yummy, I went to the same place, the ices can also go inside the brioche as like a sandwich...so yummy
Beautiful Sicily,hope one day can I see it with my own eyes
Jim Kerr, the lead singer with Simple Minds has a hotel there. I think it is called the Villa Angela? I know someone who stayed there who said it was really good. great video as always!!
@The endless adventure
Me and my wife really enjoy your videos, we would really love to see you guys travel to Montenegro - there is an amazing area called Kotor bay and the views are out of this world. We have been back there so many times and canât stop exploring. There is a mountain called LovcĂ©n and you can drive to the top.
I feel that too many people have never even heard of this beautiful country but itâs so friendly and safe. It would be really amazing to see you guys do a video there.
" everything is so savoury, tasty , super delicious ,amazing and magical "
The first thing I said when I got in from work today was "It must be time for a new EA video..." and sure enough - as I sat down at my computer; there it was! ;) I loved seeing Sicily - one of the only parts of Italy that I've not been to as I've always wondered how easy it is to get around without a car. It does look great!
Seeing you abbreviate it to EA made me realize Endless Adventure = Eric & Allison. I wonder if that was intentional? Mind blown.
I visited there when I was in the Air Force 1991. I still have my little lava rocks at home.
I did two deployments there, by far one of my favorite places to visit. Can't wait to got back..
I went to the top of Etna somewhere back in the mid 1980's. That was middle of Summer. It was not too cold (not exactly that warm either) and the wind was certainly more or less the same as you guys had. Pretty sure it's always like that up there.
Hello Eric and Allison. Thank you for the amazing episodes. Been watching your videos from the start. If you're ever in the Calgary area again, my girlfriend and I, if possible, would love to take you around and show you the sights. Awesome episode from Sicily. Italy's on our bucket list too. Happy travels.
Great video! Thank You so much for taking us along.
Ok, BEST travel edit of the week. Guessing even Kara and Nate, Flying the Nest and Daneger and Stacey are impressed by this series! And always funny too :) Special thanks for keeping Foodie finds in each episode.
Best wishes, James and Kim
I was there a few years ago and some of the beautiful greek ruins in Selinunte and Castelvetrano very cool small town with the best mortadella I ever had.
tadah98 Mortadella comes from northern Italy!
Stunning views, I truly appreciate how much work you guys put in it. Thumbs up!
World's best Food in Sicily. Truly
Sono lieta di esservi trovati bene....noi siciliani siamo molto accoglienti...io lavoro a Taormina....la granita del bar bambarrrrrr...buonaaaaaaaaađ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
Definitely on the list! Thanks guys đ
Wow, Sicily looks so unbelievably beautiful.
its the med its all beautiful.
This was so cool! We are headed there soon and love the preview into Sicily!
Nice! Hope you have a blast đ
Inspirational. Toarimina has been on my bucket list for years. Thanks.
FRENCHMAN PROMOTION Donât bother with Toarimina wherever that is; but I can highly recommend Taormina in Sicily which is spectacular.
love italy cant wait to visit sicily on my return visit looks amazing love your videos
I was in Taormina October 2018 and it was stunning!! It was so beautiful and the scenery is spectacular!!! A must do!!
Hi we are visiting Taomina this October - what was the weather like when you were there ? donât know what to pack?
Im back from Sicily and I miss it already.. cant wait to go back! đą
Great video guys! Sicily looks wonderful. Definitely another place to go and explore!! đ
It's normal to eat a scoop of coffee ice cream/gelato in a brioche roll freshly powdered with fine icing sugar. One of my favourite.
When I saw that wind I thought of Moher, where I have had my breath taken away many times. I'd forgotten you had been there. Its beautiful in summer , too , mind.
It's a Greek theater, no gladiators. In summer they perform great music shows inside. Trump went there last year during a g8 summit.
Thanks for the comment! This theater was actually taken by the Romans at some point. Here's a little snippet from their site "...it was transformed during the Roman times to make room for games and gladiatorial battles". It's pretty amazing though that they still have shows there!
@@Theendlessadventure Yes, right, I found this information on multiple sources. Proud of you, đđźđč
Beautiful place
I'm sure trump didn't appreciate it
quelodequelo Youâre quite correct; regardless of any later alterations made by the Romans, it is clearly a Greek theatre, not a Roman amphitheatre (as you see at the Colosseum in Rome or at the Arena in Verona for example).
I was in Taormina in summer 2011, and I got to see an Italian movie awards show there. We didn't understand a word of it since it was all in Italian haha, but it was still really cool to see.
I was in Taormina several times, loved it.My sisters-in-law lived in Catania, our room at her home faced Mt.Etna, fabulous . Enjoy
I love that type of art. You two are so hip! I think that you should eat it how you like. But I think it is a dip or a spread for the bread.
Loving this Italy series:)
Thanks!
It was super WINDY and COLD when we visited Mt Etna in late May too. Awesome video as always.
Allison saying "freakin" is just our favorite! haha What was the layer at the bottom of the glass, under the raspberry? Was it like a custard? And Allison's was almond, but what was Eric's? Looked so good!
Love from karachi đđ
I have to say i m addictedđđđ
Nice video! A well conceived mix of your experiences. It's great to travel with you. I wonder where you will go next?
Amazing,amazing,amazing,amazing
Try Cassata Siciliana in Palermo. Granita, gelato you can get anywhere in Italia. Cassata unique to Sicilia and when in Palermo, downtown, find it year round...ask around, 2 fine pastry shops are famous for it.
The cycling Giro d'Italia has included a Stage finishing on Mount Etna. It was beautiful to watch but I don't think they climbed as high as you did. They certainly didn't face that wind.
I love Sicily!!!
In theater weren't fighting but only actors, comedy or tragedy, not gladiators
franco belle
You are correct; the Teatro Antico was built originally by the Greeks as a theatre, it was/is NOT a Roman amphitheatre.
The Romans did make some alterations later, but it always remained essentially a Greek design and never took on the shape of a Roman amphitheatre as found at the Colosseum in Rome or Arena in Verona.
That said, the Romans bricking up perhaps the most spectacular view of any Greek theatre anywhere to be found, did give it a more enclosed feel.
Many vloggers, particularly from the US, use the words theatre/amphitheatre interchangeably as though they mean the same thing - they do not!
Lmao... The Freddie Prince Jr comments had me gut rollin! đđđ y'all are the best! Love ur vids! Safe travels!
Giving me all the honeymoon nostalgia! We went to Catania and spent the day walking the city streets, shopping, and viewing the churches. I found a lovely ceramic plate to bring home to my Sicilian grandmother (her family is from Carrini), and the food we tried... Well, it was really good, but I don't know what it was haha It was kind of like a calzone.
the mountain keeps what it wants
I really like your videos. You are geeat travellers and go with the flow and find interesting things - expexded or unexpected, and you have a really great attitude. I was in Taormina in September 2019 with family. And we took a guided trip to Mount Etna, almost 3000 m above sea level. It was about 5 degrees C but no wind. There had been an eruption a couple of months before and there was still smoke ooozing up from the ground not far away from us. We took a walk around the rim of the crater. It was beautiful and I am glad we went đđđŒ
I went to Sicily in 2018 it was a good holiday went to visit taormina while there and the town is awesome
been to taormina many times, for your info, the town held a g7 summit in 2018 and the theatre if your there during the summer you might catch major bands playing there for example the stones, bocelli, u2, pearl jam etc.its an amazing to see . the theater is functional today unlike the colloseum in rome its to historical to functional and are afraid of damage. the town if your in one of the hotels you can take a ride in hillside condola to the ocean and come back up after your swim .
Nice, thanks
Been to Cefalu and that was so beautiful
Mont Etna is the most active volcano in the world ...ok....next trip to Italie is gonna be in Sicile....đ and by the way...subscribing right nowđ
Drouin Johnny Mount Etna is absolutely not â...the most active volcano in the worldâ.
If you go to Italy (Italia), or visit Sicily (Sicilia) in particular, then the island of Stromboli (stress on the first syllable), one of the seven volcanic Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie) just off the north coast is more active than Etna. You can do regular early evening boat trips to watch the natural firework display that happens every half hour or so.
You can take a *lift* (like an enclosed ski lift) to the top of Mount Etna, I went in June, not this year of course, and there are actually 3 volcanos, and the ground is warm, it will slightly melt the rubber underneath your shoes, it was windy, but not unbearable. In addition, just walking around the town of Taormina, all the quaint numerous shops, each corner, street is different, it's all about the views, quality, craftsmanship, and that's its unique charm!
My wife and I were in Taormina (and all around Sicily) on our honeymoon last year! Probably early-May-ish 2018? Such an adorable town. Did you take the hanging gondola down to the water to see Isola Bella? It was pretty incredible. We didn't make the trek up to Mt Etna, we decided we'd rather hang in town or at our Airbnb with a glass of wine and admire it from a distance instead, haha.
Never been to Italy, Sicily looks awesome, I think it has to go on the "to do" list. Great video guys !!
italy is the second most beautiful country in europe and is sooo worth the hype. a month ago i would've said it was the no one most beautiful in europe but it's been dethroned by ireland.
I agree, it for sure looks beautiful.

Been three times. Love it. October.
La pischela strabuzza gli occhi quando assaggia la inimitabile granita con panna siciliana
Hey, we went in November too, got the cable car to the top and walked a fair bit. Almost lost my drone up Etna. Had a great time
I usually do both the dipping and the covering đ
It's so weird (in a good way) to see all the places I went to myself during my visit to Taormina in September.
EstĂĄn invitados a venir a El Salvador!!!!
Sera un placer tenerlos por acĂĄ
Always wanted to go to Sicily! This just motivated me even more!
I have been to Mt Etnea and to the theater in Toarmina. I loved Sicilly! I was there is October, it was chilly. We just drove up to that same area you were at. Didn't go all the way to the top either.
That's great that you got to visit. Well worth it!
Lynnetta Pierce Mount Etna in Sicily can be seen from Taormina.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 yes
Hi we are visiting Taomina this October and we donât know what to expect weather wise - do you have any advice as to what type of clothing we should pack ?
@@chrissie.0864 Warm during the day (75-80??), cool at night. October is the rainy season, but only had one really rainy day the 2 weeks I was there, (and that was on the mainland in the heel of the boot.) Of course, if you go up Etna, it will be COLD. I wore long pants and short sleeves, but always had a sweater I could put on. Have a wonderful trip!!
two nice persons.
I sure hope you tried the gelato. The best gelato I ever had was in Taormina
Which flavor?
4:39 ummm, gonna need this from my gelato/sorbetto place!
I have actually been to Sicily, Mt. Etna and Taormina, and you should have went to a boat trip at Isola Bella, Taormina.
Ciao! Il Teatro di Taormina era, appunto, un teatro. Non facevano combattimenti come al Colosseo ma spettacoli (come ancora oggi).đ
