Church of Saints Peter and Paul of Agrò

Highlight • Religious Site

Near the small village of Casalvecchio Siculo lies in the Torrental Torró a very complex monument of the High Middle Ages in Sicily. The Greek inscription on the architrave of the main portal states that the church was rebuilt by the master builder Gerhard the Frank in 1172 on behalf of the catechumens Theosteriktos. The Norman Roger II had it built in 1116. The church miraculously unites Byzantine, Norman and Arabic architectural elements. until 1776 Greek orthodox Basilian monks lived here in a tiny abbey.
Inside, in the small and narrow church, high pointed arches on monolithic pillars separate three ships from each other. On the main axis of the central nave are the two very different domes, which allow light from above and give the church something mystical. A beautiful place.
I would like to point out to the picnic area below the monastery, where we spent a nice lunch break directly on the Torrente leading in spring water.

Bivacco Vernà

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It is a refuge whose entrance door was forced open and can now only be accessed with a string. The fountain in the area is excellent. Next to the bivouac there is a path of about 2km with minimal slope which has several tables illustrating the different species of trees present in the area.

Furci Siculo Beachfront and Promenade

Highlight • Beach

Good section between Messina and Taormina - despite the "main road" the traffic wasn't that bad.
