COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

Taormina restaurants and attractions are around every corner in this ancient city, the gateway to Sicily.  It is a great place to absorb your first impressions of this culturally fascinating island.

It is a gracious, inviting city packed to the brim with culture, natural beauty, and the mouthwatering cuisine that helped make Italian food world-renown.

Mt. Etna, is Sicily’s live volcano and one of the world’s most active. The volcanic soil is very fertile and supports the orchards and vineyards on the mountain slopes. In 2013 UNESCO declared Mt. Etna a World Heritage Site.

Mount Etna

This main pedestrian street with medieval buildings on either side of the street, doesn’t even seem real. It feels more like what a pedestrianized Sicilian street would look like if Hollywood designed it.

Corso Umberto

The piazza boasts a spectacular view of the impossibly blue Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. This is an ideal spot to take a break in one of the laid-back cafes, savor a coffee and absorb the atmosphere.

Piazza Aprile IX

The theater was built in the 3rd century BC. The building materials, brick, is Roman but the design is mostly Greek. This leads experts to believe that it was originally built by the Greeks and rebuilt by the Romans on the original site.

Teatro Greco

Some of the best Taormina restaurants for traditional Sicilian food include Al Duomo, Trattoria Don Ciccio, Malvasia, Grotta di Ulisse and Osteria RossoDiVino.
