All about Taormina

Perched on a hilltop on the east coast of Sicily, Taormina is widely known for its diverse beauty and incredible views over the Ionian Sea. This picturesque village has Mount Etna as its backdrop, Europe’s largest and most active volcano. Founded in the 4th century, Taormina prospered under both the Greeks and the Romans for hundreds of years before it was conquered by the Normans. It was only rediscovered as a holiday destination in the 18th century. Today, Taormina offers a collection of Greek and Roman ruins, including the incredible Greco Roman theatre, which often hosts musical and theatrical performances during summer. The city itself is home to charming narrow cobbled streets, a wide array of restaurants, and is a great place to explore and relax.
