Taormina
One of the most famous and visited tourist locations in Sicily . It is located in the Messina region in a wonderful position about 206 meters above sea level.
The historic center rich in monuments and the view of the sea and the gulf that this Pearl of Sicily offers is unique and absolutely not to be missed.
The visit to Taormina can only start from Corso Umberto, the pulsating heart of craft shops, high fashion boutiques, narrow streets, bars, restaurants and street artists. It also offers monuments, historical sites and natural beauties not to be missed such as; Isola Bella which is an islet with a beach and crystal clear sea, and is the symbol of Taormina together with the Greek Theater carved into the rock and offers a breathtaking view of the gulf and Etna. Another unmissable point is Piazza IX Aprile, a panoramic terrace with an adjacent bar where you can have an aperitif with a view. From here you can reach Piazza Duomo to admire the Basilica of San Nicolò di Bari and the baroque style fountain "4 fountains"
