Sicilia - Places to Visit - Forza d'Agro'
From the motorway, which connects Messina-Catania, one can exit from Roccalumera or Taormina Nord into SS. 114. As one drives along the winding roads and ascends higher, the Calabrian Coast and the deep blue sea can be viewed and from the Cape of S. Alessio the spectacular view of the Ionian Coast can be seen verging towards Messina. The climb consists of cultivated "terraces" of olives and almonds and figs. Belvedere Damosello is situated on the most pointed rock, leaning onto the sea. With just one glance one can view the Sicilian oriental coast and the Calabrian Coast. The complete view comprises the extraordinary neatness of the northern villages, the set of houses set upon the hills towards the Cape of S. Andrea, Taormina and its bay, and Etna (Covered with snow in winter). Just below the observer can see the sea of Forza d' Agro' with its limpid waters protected by the Cape of S. Alessio.
