Taormina walking tour
In the 1800s Goethe praised its beauty and Taormina became a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour by the young European aristocracy of the time to enrich their own culture.
Today, Taormina is one of Sicily’s most popular destinations, in summer and not only. It’s rich in history, art, culture and tradition, besides being in one of the most breathtaking spots of the whole country. The town lies in an elevated position of amazing, almost unique beauty, affording magnificent views combining sea and sky of a marvelous blue, miles of a curving coastline and picturesque mountain scenery, while the majestic pyramid of Mt. Etna on one side constitutes a scene of indescribable beauty.
The ancient Greeks loved to construct their buildings in beautiful scenic locations. Here they found the pairing of Etna and the bay of Naxos, with a wonderful view that when the air is clear can reach the coast of Calabria.
It is, surely, the main monument of the city, not only for its intrinsic artistic value, but also for the scenic location in which it is placed. The view enjoyed from up there is even defined as the view.
Let us plan your time in this unique place with privately guided tours designed around your interests.
