One of the most beautiful climbs around. Full stop.
The traffic is low enough during the tourist off-season. I can imagine this is getting very crowded with busses from spring until autumn. A very good side affect is the near perfect tarmac all around Taormina which can be hard to find on mountain roads at other cities in Sicily.
