Wandering, but not lost

It is the third largest city in France, after Paris and Marseille. It is located in the east of the country, a little south from the centre. What's important is the geography.  Two rivers Rhone and Saone flow and meet there, Lyon grew on their junction. Not so far on the east from the city the mountain range of the Alps start to tower over the land. They are not really visible in the city itself, but the terrain is rather filled with hills anyway. The region of France in which it lies is called Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. 

Taormina is one of the most beautiful villages on Sicily. No wonder it gained such popularity, it has a picturesque landscape as it's located on a top of a mountain offering a panoramic view on both the coastline and Etnea volcano. As most mediterrenian villages and cities it also offers a maze of narrow and colourful alleys. It is a top destination for any sicilian excursion.

Syracuse was my number one in Sicily, for sure. It was just so pleasent to simply walk around and it was offering interesting sights from different historical periods. It actually has greek herritage, what came as a big surprise for me.
