Taormina
About the destination
Taormina perches 200 metres above the Ionian Sea on a natural terrace cut into the cliff face of Monte Tauro. Home to a 3rd-century BC Greek Theatre still used for performances under the stars, luxurious boutique hotels, and terraced gardens overflowing with bougainvillea — it is the jewel of the Sicilian Riviera and one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated destinations. Below the town, Isola Bella is a tiny island nature reserve connected to the shore by a narrow strip of sand. The pedestrian Corso Umberto is lined with designer boutiques, artisan gelaterias and terraces overlooking the bay. Just 5 km above Taormina, the village of Castelmola offers almond wine tastings and one of the most photographed panoramas in all of Sicily.
