We anchored off Naxos Sicily and the purpose of the stop was to visit Taormina, which was a 1/2 hour shuttle bus ride up the mountain from the port. It was another hot & humid day and Taormina, which is situated below Mt. Etna, was scheduled to be overcrowded with tourists. We decided to wait until we're back in November and see it in comfortable weather and uncrowded. After talking with people who did make the visit, I think our decision was wise. We spent quite a while walking around the harbor & beach area, looked in vain for a good restaurant and returned to the ship. We had pre ordered beef tartare for a main course for dinner and it turned out to be one of the best we've ever had. It was made with chopped rather than ground meat and had a wonderful texture as well as a superb flavor. We saw the evening show and passed on the casino where we're about even for the cruise.
