Executive summary by darmansjah
Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the
island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between
Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since
the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on
the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina
can be reached via highways (autostrade) from Messina from the north and
Catania from the south.
Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve;
and further south, situated beside a bay, is the popular seaside resort of
Giardini Naxos. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available.
The village of Taormina is perched on a cliff overlooking
the Ionian sea. Besides the ancient Greek theatre, it has many old churches,
lively bars, fine restaurants, and antique shops. Taormina is approximately a
forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
