Contact Us More infoTaormina, with its iconic Greek Theatre overlooking the sea and the enchanting beaches of Isola Bella, has captivated travellers for centuries with its timeless beauty.
But Taormina is more than just a holiday destination. It is a treasure trove of history and culture, an ideal gateway to exploring the wonders of Eastern Sicily.
As early as the 18th century, Taormina was a key stop on the Grand Tour, the formative journey undertaken by young European aristocrats to deepen their cultural knowledge and admire the remnants of antiquity.
In 1787, during his Sicilian travels, Goethe was mesmerized by Taormina’s splendour, describing it as "a place where sky and earth embrace in a dance of light and colour."
Over the centuries, Taormina has welcomed an array of illustrious figures drawn to its unique charm and relaxed atmosphere. Among them were Oscar Wilde, who admired the island’s "wild beauty," and D.H. Lawrence, who lived here and wrote some of his most celebrated works.
Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, Hemingway, Robert De Niro, and Woody Allen also fell under Taormina’s spell, indulging in its luxurious yet laid-back dolce vita, where elegance, relaxation, and sophistication blend seamlessly.
Taormina continues to enchant with its picturesque streets, breathtaking views, and vibrant cosmopolitan ambiance. The town offers a wealth of attractions, from ancient ruins to pristine beaches, medieval villages to active volcanoes.
For those eager to delve into the region’s rich history and culture, Taormina serves as the perfect starting point, a gateway to Eastern Sicily’s marvels, inviting visitors to walk in the footsteps of the legendary travellers who, throughout the centuries, have been captivated by its allure.
