"Taormina is a beautiful ancient Sicilian city on the east coast near Catania airport. Taormina lies on a hilltop, with a narrow road from bottom to top. It is located near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to its summit. Taormina is home to the ancient Greco-Roman theater Teatro Antico di Taormina, which is still in use today.

"It's probably the most famous place in Sicily, but there is a reason for that. The views from this town perched on top of the hill are glorious, from Etna to mainland Italy (Calabria). Under Taormina you have Isola Bella, a semi-detached Island that used to be owned by a Noble family, and is now open to everyone as a museum."
