Taormina is a small Italian town located on the eastern coast of Sicily. Located near Mount Etna, an always active volcano with paths that reach the summit. Taormina is a town with ancient origins and is the favorite destination of nobles, artists and film stars because it has been considered the most elegant city in Sicily since 1900.
The city is known for the Ancient Theater of Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theatre, second largest in Sicily after the Greek theater of Syracuse, still in operation today especially in the summer period, a splendid setting for international events, concerts and high-level awards international. It is the most important and best preserved ancient monument, built in a wonderful panoramic point overlooking the gulf of Schisò and the imposing Etna, surrounded by the sea and nature. Near the theater, the cliffs that descend to the sea form coves with sandy beaches. A narrow strip of sand connects the city to the tiny Isola Bella which is the symbol of Taormina and above all is a nature reserve and protected area. In Piazza IX Aprile there is a large panoramic terrace with a checkerboard floor, with a long balcony with a wonderful view from Capo Taormina to the bay of Naxos, you can also admire Etna and the view of the hill that houses the famous Theater Greek from Taormina.
Next to Piazza IX Aprile you can admire the Clock Tower, also called Porta di Mezzo, which separates the medieval part of the city from the Roman-Greek one. Taormina is a small city full of wonders that will leave those who visit it speechless, such as the visit to Piazza Duomo, a small historic and medieval square among the oldest in the city which houses the Cathedral, a medieval church-fortress restored in Romanesque style -gothic. In the center of the square you can admire the Baroque style fountain of the Quattro Fontane where the symbol of the city of Taormina dominates: the Centauress on two legs surrounded by a crown. Inside the city we find a small green lung, the English Eden of Taormina, full of various types of plants and flowers.
