About Isola Bella

Isola Bella is an island. Location: Province of Messina, Sicily.

From Wikipedia

Isola Bella (Sicilian: Ìsula Bedda) is a small island near Taormina, Sicily, southern Italy. Also known as the Pearl of the Ionian Sea, it is located within a small bay on the Ionian Sea; it was a private property, for a time owned by Florence Trevelyan, until 1990, when it was bought by the Region of Sicily and turned into a nature reserve, initially administered by the Italian branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature. There is a narrow path that often connects the island to the mainland beach.
