About Taormina
Settled on the hill of the Monte Tauro, Taormina dominates two grand, sweeping bays below, and on the southern side, the top of Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano.

Thanks to its favourable position, mild climate and magical atmosphere, Taormina has been called home by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Saracens, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards.

Today, there are still many fine examples of Taormina’s history, like the splendid Greek Theatre, the Roman "Naumachiae", the 13th century Cathedral of Saint Nicolò, the 14th century Palazzo Corvaja, the 16th century Palace of the Dukes of Saint.Stefano, the public gardens, the "Badia Vecchia" (Ancient Abbey) and many others.

The favourite resort of names ranging from Goethe to D.H. Lawrence, Truman Capote to Oscar Wilde, Francis Ford Coppola to Woody Allen, Taormina offers visitors a perfect combination of charming atmosphere, history and culture, and an elegant and lively way of life.

For travellers looking to sample some fabulous Sicilian cuisine, the town boasts a wide choice of restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias, pastry-shops, bars, cafes, and pubs to suit just about any taste and budget.
