The
Messina Strait is at the smallest side in the North
about 3 km wide. Depending from the wind and tidal conditions there
can be formed current of up to 5 kn. Because on the different salinity
and temperatures of the Ionian an Tyrrhenian seas there are frequent,
interesting but absolutely inoffensive water whirls. Taormina was a Greek colony in the antique. There is a well conserved Greek theater, still used for antique Greek dramas. More information at: http://www.taormina.it Naxos was also a Greek colony in the antique. The harbor is poor frequented and free. No water, no electricity. There is nothing specially interesting in Naxos. The Etna is the main volcano in Europe, over 3300 m high and one of the biggest in the world with almost regular eruptions. The Etna is a volcano of the black type erupting mainly lava. |
