Taormina

Sicily, Italy

Sicily's most popular seaside retreat since the 18th century.

The well-heeled of Europe have been flocking to Taormina ever since the German writer Goethe extolled its virtues back in the late 1700s. The historic center is perched on a clifftop above a rocky coastline and gives many vantage points over the Ionian Sea. To the south lies Mount Etna, the still-active volcano. Taormina's many beaches are reached by cable car, a must-do for any visitor.

In the historic center you'll find most of Taormina's restaurants, from simple pizzerias and trattorias to higher end (and priced!) restaurants. A passeggiata (evening stroll) along the main street, Corso Umberto, is still a part of locals' daily routines. The city's signature sight is the ancient Greek theater, which is more than just an archeological site. Plays, operas and ballets are still performed from June to September.
