Get to know the stunning Sicilian town of Taormina
Taormina is one of the jewels of Sicily. Perched high up on a hill overlooking the sparkling blue Mediterranean sea, the narrow streets are filled with historic buildings and are crowned with a spectacular ancient theater.
The walking tour begins at one of Taormina’s two main gates, Porta Messina. Stroll along the main street where you’ll have a chance to admire the town’s historic palazzi, which show off Taormina’s distinctive blend of Arabic, Gothic, and Spanish architectural influences.
Continue to Piazza Duomo, home to an iconic fountain and the 13th-century cathedral, before reaching Piazza IX Aprile, one of Taormina’s breathtaking viewpoints, offering sweeping vistas over the Bay of Naxos. If time allows, stop for a refreshing granita or another local Sicilian specialty.
The next stop is to view the archeological remains of the Odeon (a Roman temple) and the ancient gym known as the Naumachie, before a visit to Taormina’s special Greek Theater. From here, enjoy spectacular views of the Ionian Sea with Mount Etna rising dramatically in the background.
