Taormina is the most glamorous and beautiful town on the Sicilian coast, perched dramatically on a clifftop above the Ionian Sea with sweeping views along the shore and toward the smoking summit of Mount Etna. A favourite of travellers and celebrities for generations, it combines ancient history with sophisticated charm.
The town is crowned by its magnificent ancient Greek theatre, one of the most spectacularly sited in the world, where performances are still held against a backdrop of sea and volcano. Elegant streets lined with boutiques, cafes and flower-filled balconies wind through the medieval centre, while beautiful gardens offer tranquil views over the coast.
Below the town lies a beautiful stretch of coastline, including the tiny island of Isola Bella and its clear turquoise coves, ideal for swimming and anchoring. The dramatic presence of Etna adds a majestic backdrop to every view.
With its clifftop setting, ancient wonders and sophisticated atmosphere, Taormina is the jewel of the Sicilian coast. Guests can explore its beautiful streets, admire its Greek theatre and enjoy the clear coves and glamour of one of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated towns.
