Once upon a time, it was the largest city in the ancient world and you will peel back the layers of time and discover what life was like three thousand years ago before moving onto the city's baroque period, when much of what stands there today was built.

When in Taormina, indulge in that most Italian of pastimes, the passeggiata or evening stroll around town, making sure to swing by the ancient Greek-era amphitheatre, with it's picture perfect framed views of Mount Etna in the distance. Again our local Concierge can recommend the perfect spot for supper, whether you want fine dining or something more low key.

In more recent times, the town became popular among northern Europeans who rediscovered it during the era of the Grand Tour. You will wander past cafes and bar where Goethe and D. H. Lawrence drank and soak up the Gothic architecture. After your tour we recommend sitting in a piazza-side cafe and people watching for the afternoon.
