Taormina Sicily ~ What an amazing place 😍

Perched high upon a promontory dropping 700 feet down to the Ionian Sea, Taormina is a chic, compact town full of medieval palaces, tiny houses, and colorful narrow streets. Despite being a busy, world famous town, Taormina still retains its old charm. And no matter what, you are always guaranteed magnificent views across the Ionian Sea and a sometimes smoldering Mount Etna.

The area around Taormina was originally inhabited by the Siculi, an ancient Sicilian tribe who settled here thousands of years ago. However, the city itself was wounded in the 4th century by the Greeks, after which it passed under Roman, Arab, and Norman rule, the city became a popular tourist destination during the 18th century when European travelers visited it during their “Grand Tour”.

Throughout the 20th century, Taormina became a beloved vacation spot for nobility, the rich, and celebrities and movie stars. And it still is today! Due to its privileged position on Mount Tauro, its charming streets, impressive Greek theatre, and lovely beaches, it continues to attract visitors the world over.

If you’re looking for a bit of glitz and glamor during your time in Sicily, Taormina will provide that in abundance.
