My name is Dina Saleeva, I am PHD in linguistics and a tourist guide with a license in Sicily (English, Russian and Italian languages).
I live in Taormina for about 16 years and all this time I have been studying history, mythology and folklore of this wonderful island. I will be happy to show you my town -- Taormina, to tell about local traditions and give advice if you need what to see, what to buy and where to dine.
