quick question for you well travelled and knowledgable lot.....
Big wedding anniversary in October next year, want to surprise the Mrs with a little trip to Italy. Would like to go somewhere new. Already been Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Trieste, Naples, Amalfi Coast and liked them all except for Venice (overpriced, too many tourists)
Any recommendations?? Just want somewhere not too expensive for a long weekend break. |  | | |  |

Taormina is great, in some hotels, you can see the sea and Etna. It also has a superb Greek theatre.
Also close to Catania airport is Siracusa. I just stayed there and the Piazza del Duomo has to be seen to be believed at night, it is magnificent, plus there are great seas views all round Ortigia, the main tourist area in Siracusa. Siracusa also has a big archaeological park with an amphitheatre and other impressive ruins.
Cefalu is also spectacular. Nice beach, majestic cathedral set below a towering cliff, great places to eat.

Taormina was hilarious. There's one narrow main street that people just walk up and down in the evening, showing themselves off. There seemed to be lots of short fat middle aged guys with their third wives, both barking into their phones, ignoring each other. Fantastic food, and I missed Earth, Wind and Fire in the amphitheatre by a day! |  | | |
