Hala says
A tiny rocky island joined to the mainland by a sandbar that appears and disappears with the tide, owned by the Englishwoman Florence Trevelyan in the late 19th century, later a small private nature reserve. The pebble beach on either side of the sandbar is Taormina's swim spot. Get there before 10 a.m. (busy by noon) and book a sunbed at Lido Mendolia or Lido la Caravella for €25–40. The cable car from Taormina town runs every 15 minutes, €3 each way.
