Taormina is one of the most beautiful town in Sicily, and one of the most important tourist centers in Italy.
Its unique location on a terrace at the top of Mount Tauro offers spectacular views of the sea and nearby volcano Etna.
The main attraction in Taormina is the Ancient Theatre, which alone is a good reason to come here. It is one of the largest ancient theatres in Sicily and is certainly one of the most striking for its extraordinary location with sea view.
Don’t miss the Piazza del Duomo, which is overlooked by a splendid cathedral dating back to the thirteenth century.
During your walk in the centre take a look at the elegant Renaissance palaces that overlook streets and squares, in particular Palazzo Duca di Santo Stefano, Palazzo Ciampoli and Palazzo Corvaja.
The most beautiful beach in Taormina is definitely Isola Bella, a picturesque pebble bay bathed by a turquoise sea, lined with fishing boats. The eponymous islet, a rocky outcrop covered with dense vegetation, is connected to the mainland by a strip of sand that appears and disappears depending on the tides. Taormina is the ideal destination for a holiday immersed in history and nature.
