Taormina is a treasure trove of history. Meander through the ancient village or spend the day by the sea. Shop, eat, explore, or … do nothing more than relax and breathe in the Sicilian sunshine and citrus-perfumed air.

Remember: no car is necessary!

For beaches … You can take the cable car down to the beach. There are several beach clubs along the shore where you can rent lounge chairs for the day and lunch in their restaurants. If you prefer to sit on the hot lava stones, bring a towel and go to Isola Bella!

If you want to bring home some typical Sicilian ceramics, we recommend visiting the boutique Ceramiche Farano -- located right before the Hotel Timeo. Ask for Linda and say that Amy sent you. Located at: Via Teatro Greco, 34, 98039 Taormina

For restaurants … there are so many that everyone can find something to nibble and feast on. One must is Le Naumachie (https://ristorantelenaumachie.com/), Via Giardinazzo, 8, 98039 Taormina. Everything is incredible and a must-try. Ask for Francesco and say that Amy sent you!

If you have time, be sure to go to the Hotel Timeo for a drink at sunset … the view is extraordinary!
