SICILY, MAY 2017
After landing at Catania airport we took a bus to Taormina where we stayed for 3 nights and managed to visit nearly every place we had planned on visiting.
One of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily - Isola Bella - is just one cable car ride (or one bus stop) away from Taormina center, taking one only 3 minutes to get down there. We definitely do not recommend omitting blue caves, although we were not lucky enough to see them due to heavy weather.
If You are interested, you can see a show at one of the largest amphitheaters in Italy - Teatro Antico and after that you can walk down Corso Umberto and enjoy glass of Sicilian wine or Granita (local specialty - we have been told, but we recommend trying also arancini, cannoli and others as we find them delicious).
If you are Godfathers fan - you should definitely visit Savocca, there is HopOnHopOff bus and also local buses going over there. Vitello bar and Chiesa di San Nicolò look just like in the movie.
After few days in Taormina we moved on by train to Catania, one of the largest cities in Italy, neighbouring active volcano Mount Etna. We arrived on time to go to one of the largest local markets. Apart from that we went to city center and fell in love with the Catania night life.
Syracuse was one day trip from Catania. It was Magna Graecia city once, Archimedes spent his whole life there. If this fact together with Antic ruins is not enough for You to visit Syracuse - Caseificio Borderi certainly is. They make The Best panini ever. Long queue is certainly worth waiting (in fact You are never waiting - you are enjoying a world class show).

Are you planning your next Sicily holidays and you are wondering where to stay in Sicily and what to in this amazing island?
As a tour planner dedicated to our beloved Sicily we help you experience the island from a different point of view and we recommend you to stay in Taormina, the jewel of Sicily!
Because of the strategic location and the Greek soul, Taormina is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The town was built on a fertile hill (200 m above a turquoise sea) and overlooks the beautiful bay of Isola Bella with a spectacular view of Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe.
Taormina combines the natural beauty with the artistic and archaeological heritage: in addition to the nice cathedral and the streets of the old town, Taormina is famous for its ancient theater (built by the Greeks around the second century bC), that is the place of important music and theatre shows, especially during the summer.
Taormina was originally the center of Hellenistic culture, it has attracted the attention of many artists and writers in modern times and today is the most fashionable destination in Sicily.
It is possible to combine the guided walking tour of Taormina with the visit of Mt. Etna and a great lunch and wine tasting at a winery on the slopes of the tallest active volcano in Europe.
On request we can provide you with a licensed English speaking tourist guide to experience a great guided tour of Taormina.
Since we arrange a private vehicle with an English speaking driver your experience in Taormina is always fully customizable.

We'll also drop in on the posh resort of Taormina, Catania — Sicily's gritty second city, with a good WWII museum — and the charming beach town of Cefalù.

Places to see in ( Taormina - Italy )
Taormina is a hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily. It sits near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to the summit. The town is known for the Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theater still used today. Near the theater, cliffs drop to the sea forming coves with sandy beaches. A narrow stretch of sand connects to Isola Bella, a tiny island and nature reserve.
Taormina is a small city and comune in the Metropolitan City of Messina on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. Its beaches, the most famous being 'Isola Bella' are accessible via an aerial tramway built in 1992 on the Ionian sea and via highways from Messina in the north and Catania in the south.
Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve; and further south, situated beside a bay, is the popular seaside resort of Giardini Naxos. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. The village of Taormina is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian sea. Besides the ancient Greek theatre, it has many old churches, lively bars, fine restaurants, and antique shops. Taormina is approximately a forty-five-minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
