Best Beaches

Taormina is blessed with some of Sicily's most stunning beaches. Isola Bella, also known as 'The Pearl of the Ionian Sea', is a small island connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand. The crystal-clear waters here are perfect for snorkelling.

Mazzaro Beach, just a short cable car ride from the town centre, is another beautiful spot, while Spisone Beach offers a long stretch of sand for those beach games and sun-soaking sessions.

Places to Visit & Things to Do

There's no shortage of things to do during your Taormina holiday. A visit to the ancient Greek Theatre is a must, with its stunning views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea.

For a slice of green in the city, spend an afternoon at the exquisite public gardens, Villa Comunale. Explore Palazzo Corvaja, a medieval palace with a rich history. And, of course, you can't miss the stunning views from Piazza IX Aprile, the heart of the town.

Popular Events

Taormina knows how to throw a party. The Taormina Film Fest in June attracts cinephiles from around the world. For a more local experience, join the celebrations of the Festa di San Pancrazio in May, with its processions and festivities.

Restaurants & Bars

Hungry for some Sicilian cuisine? Head to 'Tischi Toschi for traditional dishes, or Osteria Nero D'Avola for a modern twist. For a sunset cocktail, the terrace at 'The Ashbee Hotel' offers unparalleled views.

Popular Local Food

Your holiday in Taormina would be incomplete without sampling local delicacies. Try 'Arancini', rice balls stuffed with meat or cheese. Savour 'Pasta alla Norma', a simple yet delicious pasta dish with tomatoes and aubergine. And for dessert, indulge in a Cannolo, a crispy pastry filled with sweet ricotta.

So, are you ready to bask in the Sicilian sun, explore ancient ruins, and fall in love with a cuisine that's as vibrant as the locals? Then pack your bags, because Taormina is ready to welcome you with open arms!
