Strolling through the archway of Porta Catania, you will come across the Corso Umberto, a street rich in traditional restaurants, charming handicraft and antique shops.

Continuing towards Porta Messina, the beautiful Piazza IX Aprile opens onto a breathtaking view of Mt Etna and the Bay of Giardini Naxos and the churches of Sant‘Agostino and San Giuseppe. We suggest you to sit in one of the charming outdoor local cafès and admire a striking “picture postcard” of the town. Taormina is rich with historic buildings, often the homes of noble families in the past. Visit the Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano, Palazzo Ciampoli and Palazzo Corvaja - also known as the Palazzo del Parlamento – which has a gorgeous facade with admirable traces of Arab art. Strolling through the town centre, you can't miss the historical area of the 'naumachie’. An important sight dating back to the Roman era. Its walls with its large niches that once contained statues of heroes and gods were known for simulations of the naval battles that took place within. Isola Bella Taormina wouldn't be Taormina without its sea. Immediately deep with intense blue tones that precede breathtaking backdrops, and caves so beautiful that words can't describe them. Directly in front of the Panoramic Hotel stands Isola Bella, a WWF Reserve, known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean, a magical place where you will find seabirds and multicolored fish, enjoying the exhilarating beach life.
