What you can expect

  • Taormina is certainly among the most beautiful and touristic places in all of Sicily. Your guided tour starts from the beautiful Ancient Theatre (also called the Greek Theatre), which is one of the most famous symbols of Taormina (Ancient Theatre entrance ticket not included). It has been dug into the side of a mountain, and from here you can enjoy breathtaking views overlooking the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna in the background.

    In Roman times, it was renovated and reached a capacity of about 20,000 spectators. Today it is still used for concerts and cultural events. Your tour will then continue with a visit to the Naumachia (naval battle), a large red-brick monumental fountain, which is formed by a wall more than 100 metres long and 5 metres high.

    Afterwards, you will reach Roman Odeon, a small ancient theatre, before moving on to Palazzo Corvaja. Built in a purely Gothic style, this is the most famous palace of Taormina.

    Your visit continues near the Catania Gate, with Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano, which was also built in a Gothic style.

    You will then tour the Church of Saint Giuseppe, which boasts an impressive Baroque style. The tour will then end at the cathedral of Taormina, which was built in around 1400 A.D. on the ruins of a small medieval church dedicated to St. Nicholas of Bari.
