Taormina, perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, is an ancient city built on a natural terrace that offers beautiful views of the coast with Mount Etna in the background. Greeks and Romans endowed it with streets, theaters and temples; Arabs have embellished it with gardens and fountains.
The symbol of Taormina is its magnificent Greco-Roman theater, from which you can enjoy one of the most evocative views in the world.
Taormina with its Isola Bella and the other splendid beaches is renowned for its clear waters and its beautiful backdrops.
