Taormina is a spectacular combination of natural and ancient Grecian splendor. This ancient Sicilian town sits prettily atop a picturesque hill by the Mediterranean shore, overlooking the active volcanic mountain of Mount Etna. What is a trendy resort town today was a prosperous port of call since the fourth century. Its ancient Greco-Roman ruins, isolated seaside coves, coastal hills and sandy beaches have been attracting travelers from halfway across the globe! The town’s ancient theatre still puts up performances amid the craggy hills that wind down to the seaside below. Whether you catch popular plays and classical concerts or laze by the beachside watching the beautiful people, Taormina is sure to keep you regaled. For nature lovers, the nearby little island of Isola Bella offers a nature reserve. Did you know that the English writer and poet, DH Lawrence had once made Taormina his home in the swinging twenties?
