The town is a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike, as it offers a plethora of photography locations.

The Ancient theatre in Taormina was built by the Romans on the site of an earlier Greek one. It is the largest theatre in Sicily after that of Siracusa. Today it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. The highest mountain in the back is volcano Etna.

Una piccola isola collegata da un istmo di sabbia ecco presentarsi l'Isola Bella. Per scorgerne la reale bellezza bisogna però alzarsi un po sulla strada che porta a Taormina. A circa un Km dall'ingresso del paese (su una curva a Sx) se volgete lo sguardo a Dx vedrete una terrazza pubblica dalla quale scorgerete questo splendido panorama!
