Of Greek origin, Taurmenion, spreads on the flank of Mount Tauro in a very panoramic and charming location. This town is one of Sicily’s jewels. It benefits from a magnificent natural location on a terrace staring directly at the Ionian coast and the Etna acts as a majestic natural background. Taormina started developing in the IV century B.C. It was once the capital of Sicily until the Arabs conquered it at the beginning of the X century. The Greek theater is probably Taormina’s most famous tourist attraction. Its location offers superb panoramic perspectives on the coast of Calabria, the Etna and the Ionian coast of Sicily. The numerous cathedrals, fountains, palaces, temples and stunning castles are only a few of the things this Greek, Arabic and Roman city has to offer.
