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
