What people say

"About 45 minutes north of Catania, Taormina is a must-see. Here you will find what people always imagine when thinking of Italy. The prices are crazy expensive compared to the average Sicilian ones, but for a day trip is okay. The Greek Theatre offers breathtaking views of the coast and Mount Etna, so I would recommend visiting. Sometimes they also do performances like classic music concerts, which offer a unique vibe. Taormina city is on the top of a steep hill, and on its fit, you can find the Isola Bella area, which is an island with a pebble beach in front and crystal clear waters. "
"Taormina is one of the most beautiful and magical places in the world. For many tourists, from all over the world, Taormina is a must-see destination. The charming town is located on the rocky plateau of Mount Tauro overlooking the Ionian Sea, at a height of about 250 meters. Taormina boasts a rich artistic, historical, and cultural heritage that with its healthy climate and beautiful natural scenery, has attracted visitors since the middle of the eighteenth century. "

"Taormina is a beautiful ancient Sicilian city on the east coast near Catania airport. Taormina lies on a hilltop, with a narrow road from bottom to top. It is located near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to its summit. Taormina is home to the ancient Greco-Roman theater Teatro Antico di Taormina, which is still in use today. "
