Taormina

Taormina is a stunning hilltop town situated on the east coast of Sicily. Nestled near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to the summit, the town is known for the Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theatre still used today. Near the theatre, cliffs drop to the sea forming coves with sandy beaches. Stroll the narrow stretch of sand connecting the mainland to pretty Isola Bella, or amble through the medieval quarter, home to a 15th century cathedral, baroque fountain and charming winding streets.
