Taormina: The Pearl of Europe

Conquered by multiple superpowers, Taormina was a prized jewel for rulers and conquerors for centuries. Today, this mountain top paradise has become a main tourist destination for people around the world.

Taormina is known correctly as ‘The Pearl of the Ionian’ (‘La perla dello Ionio’).

i been there in 2013 ...oh

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Almost unwatchable due to the grotesque mispronunciation of the name Taormina: it is not pronounced ‘terra-mina’.
‘God said...’ ??? surely you mean Goethe (correctly pronounced as two syllables, with a ‘t’ sound); the American habit of turning ‘t’ into ‘d’ is not always helpful when transferred to the pronunciation of European languages.
‘Tah-orr-mee-nah’ is not the pearl of Europe, it is the ‘pearl of the Ionian’.

God? Goth? Almost as bad a pronunciation as American universities teach when they instruct students to pronounce Goethe "Gorthe." UGH!!!

get a life, she not giving us an English lesson, you morons, she is showcasing Taormina. She did an excellent job as I have been there 2 summers in a row to many of the paces she showed on her video. BRAVO !!!!! thank you for bringing back memories of this gorgeuos must see place👏👏👏

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Joesy Fuda It is no showcase when full of errors. She clearly has never heard of Goethe and it is not the pearl of Europe. If you are posting a vlog of a place, it is not too much to ask that at least some attempt has been made to pronounce the name correctly.

[@tlee7403]

So how do you pronounce it?

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

T Lee Correctly; I took the trouble to learn the correct pronunciation - it is not difficult.
