Taormina

Taormina is best known within Sicily for its ancient Greek Theatre, a third-century BC auditorium later adapted by the Romans. Perched on a hillside above the Ionian Sea, the town faces Sicily’s eastern coast, with Mount Etna rising to the south-west on clear days. Corso Umberto runs through the historic centre, while Piazza IX Aprile and the medieval Palazzo Corvaja reflect Taormina’s Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman layers. Below the town, Isola Bella is a small island nature reserve connected to the shore by a narrow strip of beach.
