This city park is really lovely and very pleasant to walk around. There’s plenty of space with wide paths and lots of benches, perfect for sitting and enjoying the surroundings. The greenery is beautiful, a mix of palm trees and regular trees, and in the late afternoon when the sun starts to set, it looks especially nice. There are small fountains with fresh drinking water, several decorative fountains, and even a historic building adding some charm. There’s also an outdoor gym with various exercise machines, though a few of them are slightly damaged. A few small vendors sell ice cream, drinks, or snacks. From some spots in the park you can enjoy views of the rocks and the sea. There’s a playground for children and overall it’s quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax and spend time outdoors.

Wonderful place! Such tall cacti there so beautifully placed. We took a lot of pictures and the sea view was amazing. Totally worth to come back to Taormina.

The park was stunning. We made sure to dine close by so we could wander back after nightfall and experience it in a different light. Darkness didn’t make it unsettling—it felt timeless, almost like walking through a preserved moment in history.

The Villa Comunale, Taormina is a beautiful gem tucked away that we came across while wondering through the city. It is filled with so much history and serenity. It's so calming and quiet. My boys even played on the little playground in the middle of the park. Picturesque ocean views can be seen at certain points and there are tons of photo opportunities throughout. A great family place to just stroll through after the hustle and bustle of the center city to gather ones self before dinner or even early in the morning. This is a must see on your itinerary.

Such a gorgeous and unique place! Definitely visit, you won't regret it. It's absolutely stunning and has amazing views over the bay

Wonderful park on walking distance fron the center of taormina. Beautiful large trees and lots of cozy benches and shadow places to escape the heating sun. The view is amazing too. There are a few old buildings that remain from the english garden era. Also there is a great playground for the youngsters among us. The park is very well maintained.

Enchanted park and open space in the middle of Taromina. Wonderful history of the women behind the parks creation and improvements. A wonderful oasis from the busy old section of Taromina.

Palazzo Corvaja is on our right, shortly after entering Taormina from Porta Messina. A beautiful, comparative building, it combines different architectural elements, Arabic, Catalan, Gothic, Norman. The central tower is of Arabic construction from the 10th century, while the rest of the building was built in parts between the 13th and 15th centuries. It has a special arched entrance and a very beautiful internal courtyard with a staircase that ends in an internal balcony before the entrance to the 1st floor. The special architectural double and triple arched Arabic windows stand out, the sections of which are separated by small intermediate columns. It took its name (Corvaja) from one of the oldest and most famous families in the city, which owned it from 1538 to 1945. Today it houses the offices of the Sicilian Tourism Agency (APT).

This palace dates from medieval times. The architecture presents different elements and styles. It was the prinary residence of the Corvaja family up until 1975. Now this historic monument houses a museum with exhibits from history and the tourist information office. From Taormina you get a good view of Mount Etna.

The place is amazing and so different from the other places

The ancient streets of the old city look very organic, it is pleasant to walk along them.

Would absolutely recommend a holiday in Taormina, Sicily. A fabulous place with lots to see.

Gorgeous street

Too crowded... not enjoyable

A compact mountain village with busy streets and a wide variety of shops and restaurants .

Beautiful view of Mount Etna. A historic piece of architecture, which forms part of the historic ramparts of the city. This gateway was built in 1440. This nice medieval gate presents the opening to one of the prettiest towns in Sicily. There are plenty of churches around in town. There's a shopping centre nearby.

A beautiful old town with lots of history, high end shopping, and restaurants.

At the far end of Corso Umberto, where the street narrows and the air begins to smell faintly of sea salt and espresso, stands Porta Catania is more than an entrance it’s a threshold between centuries. Step through, and you don’t just enter Taormina; you enter a whisper of history that still remembers you. The southern gate of Taormina. Built centuries ago, it has watched the town’s stories flow through like a living river of footsteps, laughter, and memory. Pass beneath its arch and you feel the shift from the modern rhythm of cafés and boutiques to the slow heartbeat of medieval Sicily. The gate’s basalt stones, darkened by Etna’s breath, still hold the warmth of the sun and the voices of those who once passed through: traders from Catania, pilgrims from afar, lovers sneaking back at dawn. Look up the coat of arms of Aragon still rests above the arch, a reminder that this island has belonged to many, yet always remained its own. From here, if you turn around, the mountains cradle the horizon; ahead, the old town unfolds like a woven tapestry of gold and ochre.

This place is stunningly beautiful. It quaint and historical with wonderful architecture and atmosphere. Views and scenery are amazing a visit is highly recommended typically Sicilian.

Porta Catania is one of the main medieval gates of Taormina, built in the 15th century under the Aragonese rule. Its coat of arms, with the Aragonese shield, still decorates the facade, marking the town’s historical connection with that era. The gate formed part of the city’s defensive walls and served as the entrance leading towards Catania. Today, it remains a well-preserved monument that reflects the strategic and architectural importance of Taormina during the Middle Ages."l

From here you can begin your trip in the center of Taormina on Corso Umberto

Romanesque The Cathedral of Taormina (Duomo di Taormina), located at the heart of Piazza Duomo, is a striking blend of medieval austerity and Sicilian charm. Built in the 13th century and later modified, its fortress-like exterior contrasts beautifully with the elegance of its interior. The rose window and baroque elements add a unique touch to the otherwise Romanesque structure.

This medieval cathedral is very nice and beautiful. It has a handsome rose window. There is some renaissance artwork around. The exterior looks like a stronghold. It was/is known as the fortress cathedral. There is a Baroque fountain opposite in the piazza. You can see Mount Etna from outside the church.

Beautiful, serene as all Duomo. Take your time to look around, visit the piazza, walk the local streets, enjoy the atmosphere of Catania

The Duomo di Taormina is very beautiful and not nearly as crowded as other tourist spots. There are a couple of nice restaurants around it, making it a pleasant place to visit. Highly recommended for a peaceful and enjoyable experience!

Duomo @Taormina is great but the foreign exchange store next to it was a robbery. 10 euros fee plus 20% commissions on top of 1.21 exchange rate (usd to euro public rate is 1.13 today)!!! Don’t go no matter what

Very nice Duomo, great scenic views.

Beautiful history...don't miss it. Highly recommended.

I took the Funivia down from Taormina-10 euro for a round trip ticket, departs every 15 minutes, and the 4 carriages can hold 48 passengers. After you're down at the station, you take a short walk down a road with a small shoulder past shops to find the staircase on the seaside of the road. The stairs are a bit deep and may be challenging for children or those with mobility issues. There is a hand rail. Folks selling merchandise line the staircase. Walk past the beachfront bars, restaurants and chairs for rent to find a very pebbly, crowded beach. Lots of ladies walking around trying to sell you massage. I didn't make it across bc I was on a time crunch and it was too busy. Worth the stop in the off season- I'm not sure it'd be worth coming down in the summer. Really a beautiful spot, but just as enjoyable from above. I'd recommend finding one of the sandier beaches just north of town.

Crystal clear water, fishes easily seen at shallow water without snorkelling equipment. Got shower facilities and umbrella rental. Be careful of the rock at the beach and seabed. Some review suggests you need to pay to get in, but we cannot find any ticket office at the beach, which seems to be an open area free for access.

Beautiful island but keep in mind lots of stairs to reach it and it is a very popular place, so itll be very full and also the water is very shallow, rock shoes recommended. Also there is a few beach clubs if you wish to but also not necessary. Showers at the beach are also available and working if you would like to remove salt. There are also boat tours that will take you out.

Absolutely stunning place! 🏝️ Isola Bella is a real gem of Sicily — beautiful nature, crystal clear water, and views that look like a postcard. It’s a protected area, so everything feels wild and untouched. Perfect spot for photos and relaxing by the sea. Just a heads-up: to reach the actual island, you need to walk across a pebble beach and then wade through shallow water. It’s not deep at all, but the stones are very slippery, and I made the mistake of wearing regular sandals. Ended up slipping and cutting my foot on the rocks 😅 So I’d really recommend wearing water shoes — especially if you’re visiting with kids. Totally worth visiting, just come prepared and enjoy this magical spot!

A magical place — a must-visit! You can reach the island by boat from Stresa — round trip costs about €10. The island is small but absolutely stunning. The Borromeo Palace is truly impressive — luxurious interiors, marble, frescoes, antique furniture, and artwork. Everything is beautifully maintained, and each room feels like a museum. The garden is like a fairytale: cascading terraces, fountains, statues, white peacocks, and breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore. It’s incredibly well-kept and perfect for a peaceful walk or photos. 💡 Useful info: • 🎟 Entry to the palace and gardens is about €20. • ⛴ Boats from Stresa depart every 15–30 minutes (€10 round trip). • 🕰 Mornings are the best time to visit — fewer crowds. • 🚻 Toilets, cafés, and seating areas are available. • 📷 Fantastic photo opportunities, a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere. 📍Isola Bella is a magical blend of nature, art, and aristocratic elegance. Absolutely unforgettable!

The beach is nice but the water is very cold. The good thing is the big place that you have as “public space” so you don’t need to pay for umbrella to stay all day here. To go inside the “Isola Bella” island (natural reserve) you need to pay 6 euros per person, and you can go inside only without “swim clothes”. You need to know that in this area to arrive in Isola bella, it’s chaotic to find a place for car, so it’s impossible to park, if you pay 20/25 euros per day, you have private parking close to the beach but I think it’s very very expensive. So I recommend to go here without the car if you can.

Beautiful beach, stunning nature, crystal clear waters. Boat trips around Isola Bella are a must. Even if it gets crowded, the scenery makes it absolutely worth it.

Lovely beach club! Great place to relax by the sea. The restaurant has pretty reasonable prices and good service. The beach and the sea are fantastic – clean, calm, and beautiful. The sunbeds are very comfortable, perfect for a relaxing day. They also sell single-use towels on-site, which is super convenient if you didn’t bring one. They have delicious coffee cream and excellent iced coffee — definitely worth trying! Highly recommended!

⭐ Relaxing private beach with good service, but safety concerns. The daily fee is €16 per person – not sure if that’s average, but it felt fair for the area. Cocktails at €8 are actually cheap compared to Taormina (usually €12+ in town). There’s a shuttle service (pick-up and return), which made everything very convenient. The beach itself was calm, with lifeguards, toilets, and showers available. However, a serious downside: I found a large rusty fishing hook in the water, and saw others picking up metal objects as well. This is dangerous and really requires more attention from the management. I strongly recommend wearing water shoes. Great atmosphere overall, but safety in the water must be improved.

One of the highlights of our trip to Taormina. We loved it so much, we went twice. If you book it through your hotel, you get such a good deal for the amount you pay. Very clean, relaxing beach with everything you need.

Great alternative to the busy and expensive beach clubs in the area. There was a shuttle that picked us up from the hotel and dropped us back off when we wanted to go. Upon arrival, we received a welcome juice and enjoyed the drinks and sandwiches at the snack bar. The beach is very rocky in this area of Sicily so water shoes are recommended. Overall, we enjoyed our time at this beach club!

I love this lido. I did a day here not expecting much from the shuttle service that was promoted from my hotel but I was wrong. I loved this lido so much I went to it three consecutive days in a row. The food and drinks were fairly priced, the staff were hospitable and welcoming, the sea and lido itself were clean and easy to access. If I had another week to spend in Taormina I would spend my days at this lido.

Nice beach , good staff. Very good beach beds

Rude staff from arrival, left waiting 20mins before serving us. Ordered x2 Caesar Salads, both came with raw chicken. Which we sent back and was told no the chicken is okay and this is how we serve it. Almost comedic to see the blood and pink The burrata, was bad too, no basil. Bad staff and bad food unfortunately.

Really liked this place. Went there Summer 2024. Cruise ship excursion to Taormina. Had very limited time before we had to get back to the tour bus. We were rushed, we were sweaty from the broiling heat, famished and thirsty, we looked like crap. Moment we stepped in, we embarrassing told the Maitre D of our time constraints. He assured us that we will be taken care of. Very friendly, very soft spoken. He had a lot of grace when bringing us our food. Recommended well. We still talk about the crab pasta till this day. A little too much dill, but it's unmistakably crabby. We didn't take the lobster, as it's of abundance where I live. The shrimp and tuna were clean tasting, and sweet. The red shrimp pasta was memorable too. Didn't have time to try their desserts. View out the balcony was postcard beautiful.

A very good restaurant in the heart of the city! We loved it! Service was great! First presentation was a very polite lady! A German accent speaking Italian! Also the waitress were great! We were served with very good food paired with a good etna wine, in a great atmosphere outdoor at the stairs of the restaurant, in background we could hear nice instrumental live music (by the cocktail bar at the square)!

My husband and I enjoyed an amazing dinner, quality champagne and wonderful views. Yes, it is pricey but the food and service was absolutely worth it. We will certainly return for another romantic experience.

The fish baked in salt is something that you dream of. The flavor and texture were amazing. The fresh crab pasta was top notch. The tuna tartare was great. You can’t go wrong.

Nice atmosphere and service, but the Tagliata we ordered was really terrible, wrong cooking, cold temperature, pale and barely seared, with some green leaves thrown in with no grace at all

Excellent place in Taormina for a nice and romantic dinner. Make sure you request a table in the balcony to have a great view of the Piazza. Food was very delicious.

Even though it's right in a tourist area, it's definitely not a tourist trap. You can get beautiful views if you arrive early and get the balcony. The food is very good, extremely fresh seafood. Prices are high.

Good little beach club. Beach is mainly pebbles, definitely recommend water shoes. Our hotel had a deal on with them, €18 euro for a return bus, sunbed and umbrella hire. Reasonably priced.

Really nice location, it cost €8 each to enter and €2 each for towels. Really cheap when it comes to entrance and towel hire. Wine was lovely, €13 for 1 litre! We had the local white wine and it was easy drinking and went well with all our food. Food was delicious, we had bruschetta classica to share for starter and for main we had spaghetti aglio e olio con peperoncino and I had spaghetti ai frutti mare. However, the service was really really slow and we ordered tiramisu and waited over 30 minutes to find out it wasn't put through on the bill. The slow service is the only reason it gets 4 stars from me otherwise it would of been 5 as it was a lovely afternoon.

Great staff & good value! Would definitely come back! The view with pasta and drinks are unmatched

We stayed at B&B Beach House Taormina, where breakfast was included. For breakfast, we were directed to Lido Tropicana. The sea view during breakfast was definitely a highlight. Unfortunately, the breakfast itself was quite basic, and the portions and quality varied from day to day, which sometimes felt unfair. The owner was generally friendly, but the service left much to be desired. The waitress was unfriendly, refused to speak English, and gave the impression that she disliked working there and had little patience for tourists. This negatively affected the overall experience. We also rented sunbeds daily. Even though there were plenty of empty spots, we were not allowed to sit in the front row by the sea on Sunday. We later found out that local guests were given priority over tourists. This felt unfair and unwelcoming. Overall, we would not recommend the breakfast, as it was quite limited and inconsistent. The sea view was wonderful, but the service and hospitality could definitely be improved.

It's an incredible place, The owner and the young man who serves are very friendly. The view of the beach from the restaurant is stunning And the beach is very clean.

Really enjoyed our day long stay and lunch here. Staff are really friendly and accomodating.good standard and very well presented beach club and restaurant.spotlessly clean and lunch was excellant.

Prime beach space overlooking pristine blue water. Large umbrellas, clean restrooms and outdoor showers. The beach rentals are reasonably priced. The food is ok but the indoor/outdoor seating with wifi makes this location one of the best. You will want to stay for the entire day. Bring flip flops because the sand gets incredibly hot and can easily burn your feet.

We went twice!! Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Calm music plays, view is beautiful, all waiters are amazing they go above & beyond. When we mentioned the three of us were sharing all meals they actually split them up for us onto our own plates, gave great wine recommendations and did not rush you out of the restaurant. Very happy.

A truly authentic hole in the wall beautiful spot with the most incredible food in all of Taormina. Start with the tempura fried cod and the tempura zucchini and thank me later. The pasta was beyond fresh with incredible flavors and no guilt. The involitini was chefs kiss. Wish I had another night to dine here again and will remember for future visits. Exceptional service and remarkable food what more can one ask for.

A small traditional place. Etna white wine was EXCELLENT. Mixed raw fish dish was terrific! Caprese salad was delicious. Sea Bass, though wasn't cooked well or was made from a frozen fish and didn't match the level of the rest.

A Taormina Gem – Don’t Miss It! Trattoria da Nino was a highlight of our time in Taormina. The food is outstanding, fresh, authentic Sicilian dishes full of flavour with a smart, well curated wine list that features excellent local selections. The sea bass was perfectly grilled, tender and full of flavour. We were lucky enough to be seated on the terrace with beautiful views. Warm, welcoming service made it even more special. A family run gem that feels truly local. Highly recommend, don’t leave Taormina without eating here!

We stopped by this lovely restaurant from our walk from the main bus stop in Taormina to our airbnb. Their fresh oysters were so good! The fried squid aka calamari, was chewy and tasteless. I was a little disappointed and I won't order it again. The bolognese pasta was very nice. Otherwise, it's very nice restaurant. I highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant, ambiance is great, staff is more than amazing & don’t get us started on the food which was exactly what we were looking for! Super tasty, like this is how you want to eat Italian food! Would love to come back 1 day again! We have Truffle pasta, Aglio e olio, Carbonara & Fish dishes as well. All fantastic!

The best food, and best service I have ever received in any restaurant ever. I could not recommend this place more highly. We have already booked again for tomorrow night for a meal for my family and our friends.

Nice, clean and calm beach easily accessible by bus from Taormina. It is not sandy beach, instead you have little rocks, which do not stick to everything as fine sand does.

Nice long and wide beach, made up of stones (mainly). The city could have taken a better care of this natural gem to my opinion. The beach is littered quite a bit. One can see plastic bags floating in the water. Discarded car tires, pieces of rusting metal and concrete street tyles lying around on the beach. Such a shame and seriously not up to European standards.

One of the best beach spots we found near Taromina. The beach was clean, with beautifully clear water on the day we went. Nice places for gelato and cannoli nearby. Seemed to lack public toilets though.

Incredibly beautiful beach, surprisingly clean. The water is refreshing, colder but very pleasant. Because of the pebbles I recomend shoes to water.

The beach area of Letojanni is excellent in the wintertime since it offers the possibility for delightful walks on the promenade. The sand is of small pebbles.The beach promenade has much potential to be a great place but is pretty much neglected. In the summertime, however, the beach is pretty crowded, and the beach clubs' quality could be much higher. This valuation is also valid for most beach restaurants.

Nice and clean beach. Very good for family with kids.

Nice beach. Clean water. Not as scenic as other Sicilian beaches (it’s a high bar!) but really nice place to get in the water and relax in the sun. The town has a nice little boardwalk there lined w cafes and things too, which is nice :)

Nice Small stone beach Great lokation

Best beach area of Taormina.

There is no sand, only small rocks. Bring your water shoes. If you don't want to stay in the sun all day bring an umbrella. The free beach it's a great place to relax and enjoy a nice day.

Paradise on earth. Wonderful weather, emotional atmosphere and welcoming people. Local food is amazing : try seafood and any type of dessert

love place

Lovely clean beach, not crowded at this time of the year I recommend it to all of you

Good but not awesome.

Very old church with such an interesting history. High, so high, many local shops around, very tasty food, beautiful views, and many more. ;)

This Catholic church is right on the main square. The Piazza IX Aprile has a picturesque view onto the sea and out to Mount Etna. The church has a Baroque façade and uses pink marble from Taormina. At the front there is a balcony that overlooks the piazza. Inside are pretty frescoes, pillars and carvings. Follow the IG link in profile for more travel and food and drink tips, ideas and reviews!

An old beautiful church in the center of Taormina. Located within terrace and a lot of restaurants. Must visit location on sun set😁

The Baroque church of San Giuseppe dominates the back of the beautiful Piazza XI Aprile. Unlike many other Baroque churches we visited in Sicily, this one is not so richly decorated. It is more simple and unassuming. A beautiful wide staircase takes you up to the church courtyard. The arched, according to Baroque architecture, entrance is made of pieces of white, gray and pink marble. High on the facade, above the entrance, there is a statue of Christ blessing the flock. Inside there are beautiful frescoes and several statues of saints. An interesting visit!

Beautiful romantic looking church. When we were there there was a huge wedding ceremony so we couldn't go in to see. It stands right outside the central piazza and has a great view of the sea.

A lovely simple Italian church. The visit is free. From its entrance there is a wonderful view of the square.

Taormina can be busy in summertime, the church of San Giuseppe offers a relaxing moment. Seen here in a 2013 picture.

Go in the morning (before 9 am or in the evening (after 6 pm) and you won’t have to fight the crowds. It’s actually quite pleasant. Surrounded by churches and stunning scenery, the views are great.

Taormina is a jewel. The piazza is full of life and the views are breathtaking. From here you can see mount Etna and mainland Italy. There is so much to do here and the food is amazing. Taormina is definitely worth a visit.

This square in the middle of town is a beautiful spot to stop at. The Piazza overlooks the sea. You can also see Mount Etna from the terrace. The atmosphere is nice. Although it is very popular and there are a lot of people, it's not overcrowded. There are often painters offering to paint portraits for people. Around the square are examples of magnificent architecture. Take the time to visit the church on the square. Follow the IG link in profile for more travel and food and drink tips, ideas and reviews!

Great atmosphere there. Best to visit in the morning when there isn't too many turist

Very enjoyable spot to enjoy this stunning town. Spotted a watercolor artist here one day and couldn't stop thinking about his beautiful work. Returned a few days later and brought one home. Look up artist Rashid on Instagram.

Piazza IX Aprile in Taormina is one of the most beautiful squares in Sicily, combining history and elegance. The square is framed by the Church of San Giuseppe, built in the 17th century in Sicilian Baroque style, and the medieval Clock Tower (Torre dell’Orologio), originally from the 12th century. Its name commemorates 9 April 1860, when Garibaldi’s uprising against the Bourbons was announced. From here, the views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea are truly unique, making it a perfect meeting point and a place where history and daily life come together.

Beautiful place, the view was magnificent and the church.

This beautiful garden offers stunning coastline views and many shady places to sit on a hot day. There are lots of flowers, majestic trees, birds and butterflies which add to the magic. Florence Trevelyan who founded these gardens is a lady I would love to have met. I imagine she was rather eccentric as she designed these beautiful and unusual follies in the gardens. You cannot explore them as they appear to be rather precarious but there are stone plinth areas where you can sit and admire the views. There is also a bar area where you can buy snacks and drinks.

We were fortunate to be staying adjacent to the garden at Villa Paradiso, and enjoyed walking through the park as time allowed. Stunning views, beautiful flora, and interesting history.

What a wonderful garden to visit. It's free and has beautiful trees, flowers, fruit and nut trees. It overlooks Taorimina beach. Has many areas for great photos and sitting. A must see while in Taorimina.

Not a hot spot but highly recommend if you plan to go to the view point. It’s just 10 min away by foot but provide a nice shade with beautifully decorated garden and nice view over the coastal town.

The gardens are pretty, not a lot od tourists are going here, so it is less loud than the rest of the city.

We were there in December. It’s worth a visit even in the winter. So peaceful, and great views.

Absolutely beautiful public gardens, straight across from our hotel. Interesting to read about the lady who commissioned it, Florence Trevelyan who was English ( Newcastle to be precise, despite the park notices describing her as Scottish!) Lots of shade to escape to. Really quirky structures throughout. Also a useful and scenic thoroughfare to the shops/ restaurants! Definitely enhanced our stay.

A charming and picturesque station with stunning views of the sea and Mount Etna. The architecture reflects traditional Sicilian style, with beautiful tilework and an old-world ambiance that makes arriving here feel like stepping back in time. While the station is beautiful, travelers should be alert—platform changes happen often and with little notice. Keep a close eye on the departure screens and listen for announcements to avoid confusion. A scenic gem with a touch of unpredictability.

If you need to take a bus from this station, be prepared for chaos. Bus tickets aren’t sold at a machine, but by a woman standing on the street — and she spent most of her time talking on the phone while a line of people waited. She ignored everyone for a while, then finally sold tickets, saying the bus would arrive in 10 minutes. It didn’t. She disappeared after that, and no one could get any information. When a bus eventually arrived, it was already full and didn’t let anyone on. We had to wait again, with no idea if another would come. Finally, after about 45 minutes, another bus came but could only take 7–8 people. The rest were left behind once more. The station itself is an old building with a beautiful interior, but the overall experience — especially for bus travelers — was incredibly frustrating and disorganized.

The train station is right on the water with a beautiful view. It's a small and very clean location and your feel safe. Tickets from other cities are easy to buy. Once you get to Taormina train station take the bus up the mountain to the middle of town for 2 euro. Do not walk. It's 45 mins. And its like doing a stair master.

Such a beautiful train station It also has lifts. Only issue is the taxi's outside who charge €20 euros for a 5 minute journey to the centre.

A quaint older station. Bathrooms were hard to find being located outside at the end of the station and then you hand to PAY to use the lavatory which I feel is unconscionable in a public facility. The train employee was clueless as to whether our passage was allowed or not. As it turned out we could only travel on a regional train, not an inter-city. The employee told everyone they could board any train. The platform information was switched at the last minute so everyone had to make a mad dash under the tracks to board. I suppose as expected the train was 20 minutes late and got later as the trip progressed. The train itself was clean and comfortable.

Lovely waiting room but no coffee, no toilet either that can be accessed without tokens that no longer exist. Work hard on your bladder control, not suitably for traveling with elderly relatives unless you previously restricted food and drink intake

A beautiful antique train station. Easy access. Trains to all around the Island.Buy your tickets in advance online...easy and already validated.

Chicken cutlet was 10€ and thinner than the fries. Did not feel worth the price. A powerade was 4€ (or we got the tourist price) I guess I should've asked first. Food itself was good, what little there was of it. They close at 23, not 23:30 like google says. And they really means you need to leave the restaurant at 22:40 or they will start hovering around your table waiting for you. The staff are nice about it though, they just make you feel rushed.

Good food and good service in a modest, unassuming terrace. The guy at the counter was nice enough to try and speak English when hearing me struggle with Italian,not the waiter though. Service was quick, prices are good and the terrace view is amazing. Card payment is possible. Although nothing special or fancy it is the kind of place i went to 3 times in one week in Letojanni, as it is good.

So great sea food, yumyum, I tried different restaurants but it was not as good. Iam coming back every day🤤

Very casual beach restaurant that has seen better days. A bit shabby even, I'd say. Toilets are nasty. Food was ok for the price, nothing to call home about. Went there only bacause it was late and most other places were closed. OK for a quick bite but if you wanr something really enjoyable look elsewhere.

Came here for the gluten-free pizza and it was very good. The dough was just slightly undercooked so maybe a bit longer next time. No issues with cross-contamination so highly recommended it to my fellow celiacs. The staff was a bit off. Our waiter got distracted and was talking to his coworker behind the bar while he was in the middle of taking our orders which was a bit weìrd. They also look angry for some reason haha. I guess that's just their serious face. They were still kind and did a good job.

Everything was perfect😍 the food, the view and the stuff, all of them kind 😊

You feel that you are ripped off!!! We ordered 2 sea food pasta portions are really really small (the second portion almost didn’t have any pasta in it! One portion was for a child. When I said this their response was “well the chef made the food” they don’t care about the customer ! Don’t eat here !!!

Very lovely atmosphere and staff. The food was amazing and loved the view of the sea. I’d definitely like to visit this place again!

Casual, no frills eatery - they have one, delicious chilled house wine in 250/500/1000 ml caraffe 😀friendly service. The pasta dishes were great. I wouldn’t recommend the veal, as it was tough and chewy

This was one of the best dinners in our life! Staff is very nice and informative Food was AMAZING. White house vine ✨ Recommend 100%! 💛

The food is absolutely amazing! Everything is fresh, full of flavour and made with love. Traditional Sicilian dishes made perfectly. The women serving are very friendly and helpful. Moreover the restaurant has a direct view on the sea which adds to the experience creating a really pleasant atmosphere. 10/10 place, if I could I would eat here everyday

Great local restaurant. We loved the grilled vegetables and minestrone so much we brought back our entire family the next day to have some. The family that runs this restaurant is so friendly, they made a special meal for my kids off the menu because they were complaining about having oats again. VERY family friendly and great food.

We ate here several times during our stay in Mazzeo. Friendly people, accommodating, fresh delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Great for kids but also for a quiet adult meal. Highly recommend!

Typical sicilian cuisine with nice atmosphere and amazing owners. They know how to treat people.i highly recommend

Wonderful to see that places like this are free for people to experience. However, there HAS to be a person there to keep tourists from littering and using the corners as toalets. The site of this importance needs to be maintained better. Also, please let street musicians use the area for live music, that would be a perfect combo...

A close-up view of the Roman Odeon in Taormina, Italy — ancient brickwork and stone seating reveal the intimate scale of this Roman-era theatre, tucked quietly behind the bustling streets, echoing with the cultural legacy of Sicily’s layered history.

Nice small archeological monument of a rare type, interesting and worth a quick visit. However, it's pretty built in by the surrounding houses, which makes its original state hard to imagine. There's just one table with a few explanations at the entrance (Italian and half length in English only), which isn't very detailed. This could be improved, as could the signposting, as I didn's see a single sign pointing towards this somewhat hidden site. Entrance is free by the way, the area is open from 09:00 to one hour before sunset.

Yet another amazing structure rich with history. This little theatre used to be the edge of the town before they built up a huge wall to the east. The views would have been incredible. It’s similar in a lot of ways to tested antica but with some key differences as it was Greek in original construction (I think)

Awesome place to come, with a view of the whole city and the coastline on both sides that is hard to see elsewhere. The theatre is also very well kept itself and seeing the coastline through its center is very cool. Would definitely recommend this as a must do spot if you come to Taormina.

Also a really special place- tucked away but has great history

The smaller theatre in taormina situated right amongst the houses

Place from which you could have beatiful view for the city. Good walk and Nice food around to check

The small park is an oasis in the heart of historic Taormina.

We immensely enjoyed walking and shopping at this unique stoned Main Street of the enchanting medieval village of Taormina. There are shops for clothes, shoes, and souvenirs; as well as restaurants and bars. I particularly love the chocolate store Nina & Friends and the Capricco Gelateria.

The main road runs through the old town from Porta Catania to Porta Messina. The pedestrian street is full of cafes, bars and places to buy souvenirs. There are plenty of luxury designer shops around too. There's churches to visit too. The buildings have prettily decorated balconies. Off one end of the road you can visit the teatro antico di Taormina. Follow the IG link in profile for more travel and food and drink tips, ideas and reviews!

Center attraction of Taormina, great for shopping, could find a lot of eatery which makes authentic Italian food, great place for night outs, restaurants are open till 12am! This place is a gem🤩

Long walkable street unifying shops, restaurants, and the best sights of Taormina.

Beautiful old pedestrian street that makes for the most memorable stroll through Taormina. Bustling with energy and excitement at all hours day or night. Adults sharing a cocktail and a story over a game of cards while children run and play. A glorious representation of people in their highest and best form of enjoying and just truly living life.

Corso Umberto is the cobbled stoned main street of the enchanting medieval village of Taormina. It is the Main Street of the old town where tourist can visit nice churches, shops, cafe, restaurants and museums.

Lovely street with various shops with traditional facade. A bit crowded due to many tourists but still beautiful.

open for the first time in 2021 today 16-feb. Biblioteca Piazza IX Aprile Sant'Agostino, Taormina

Worst „art“ exehibition I ever saw. Such talent free painters are really rare…

Lovely late 15th c church, supposedly originally devoted to St. Sebastian who saved Taomina by performing the miracle of keeping the plague away. Personally, I'm glad there is no plague in Taormina, because it's a very nice town. Thanks, Sebastian!

another small church at the heart of Taormina

Nice exterior!

Not very nice beautiful church square .

(Translated by Google) As can be seen from the facade and bell tower, this was once a church dedicated to Sant'Agostino. Built in 1486, it was a church until 1933 when it became a library. What books does it host? The texts of the former convents of Sant'Agostino, San Domenico and the former Capuchin Convent, whose subjects were Theology, Philosophy and Natural Sciences. The beautiful facade has undergone restoration over the years. In fact, I remember that when I was little, the color was much more white. What to say? The facade is aesthetically very beautiful, but the interior, well used as a library, is also beautiful. Absolutely worth visiting! Recommended! (Original) Come si vede dalla facciata e dal campanile, questa un tempo era una Chiesa intitolata a Sant'Agostino. Costruita nel 1486, fu Chiesa fino al 1933 quando divenne biblioteca. Che libri ospita? I testi degli ex conventi di Sant'Agostino, San Domenico e l'ex Convento dei Cappuccini, i cui argomenti erano Teologia, Filosofia e Scienze Naturali. La facciata bellissima ha subito dei restauri negli anni. Ricordo infatti che quando ero piccolo, il colore era molto più tendente al bianco. Cosa dire? Esteticamente molto bella la facciata, ma è anche bello l'interno ben adibito a biblioteca. Assolutamente da visitare! Consigliata!

Amazing place very pretty well maintained beautiful courtyard and the pastry shop a must if you are done of Sicilian sweets

Opposite Palazzo Corvaja we find this small but beautiful Baroque church. It was built in the 17th century, partly on the pre-existing Roman Odeon, which in turn was built on an ancient temple of Aphrodite. The church stands out for its special Baroque entrance, in which pink marble from Taormina was used. Above the entrance we see the statue of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Inside, the spiral columns and beautiful oil paintings stand out.

The Church of Santa Caterina, built in the 17th century, stands on the ruins of a small Roman theater, traces of which can still be seen nearby. Dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, it reflects Baroque style with elegant details. While not as grand as Taormina’s cathedral, its historical layers — from Roman to Baroque — make it worth visiting. A charming stop, though relatively modest compared to other monuments in town.

Beautiful, amongst the chaos of Dior, Louis Vuitton and the white lotus f goodnesses sake

A cute little baroque church and surprised to see a decorated antique car outside. Inside of the church is clean and simple and seems that very little maintenance was done.

I always stop by whilst in Taormina. It's absolutely beautiful

Worth a visit but limited in decoration

A restaurant located on the beach. The older male waiter was very friendly. The portions were good and big. The background music was for middle-aged people. And MTV was playing on the televisions. We asked the young waiter to turn the TV down, but he didn't. But the young waitress did mute the TV. This restaurant does not charge service fees automatically, like many other restaurants.

Some of the best pasta I’ve had — I especially recommend the Pennette al Pistacchio and the Spaghetti alla Carbonara. Absolutely delicious! Fritto Misto also very delicious.

Fantastic place for lunch, drinks or dinner. The staff are fabulous with great English and very helpful. Veronica has been been fantastic today and couldn’t do more for us. We would highly recommend this place when you come to Letojanni.

Beautiful beach club that isn’t out to scam tourists. The water was gorgeous and they have showers/change rooms on site. The chairs are comfortable and offer shade from the sun. Basically everything that you need to enjoy the day. The service was super friendly, even showing me options to make drinks that weren’t on their menu. At the end we ordered a pizza which was ready in 7 minutes and delicious. The only thing to note is that there’s no servers on the beach so you need to walk 1 minute inside but that is no issue at all and actually a nice change of pace after lounging around. There was also no music/DJ but that is honestly more peaceful than hearing tunes the whole time. Listening to the sea was a gorgeous change of pace from our busy holiday. 5/5 a huge thank you for the suggestion, Giuseppe.

Good place to eat. Drinks are sometimes pricier then some dishes, but still worth favorites are midori and dragonfly. Pizza is quite big just right for one person. If you want to eat crepes add some toppings.

The pasta alla norma was awful, completely lacking in flavor. They brought a dirty, old container of cheese for us to add ourselves — truly unacceptable. The drinks were artificial and tasted nothing like real juice. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Would not recommend at all.

We had dinner here in our first night and came back in our last one. Affordable and very good food, kind and nice people and a great location. The pizza burratina was the best pizza I had in Sicily. Marguerita did an amazing job dealing with a full room of people and never losing her sweet smile. Definitely recommend.
