Sicily is an island full of surprises, and many cities and locations stand out: Taormina is definitely one of those. If you are looking for a place to stay, consider an excellent opportunity to relax in villas in Taormina for holidays.
Taormina, which is about an hour’s drive from Catania airport, is located high above the Ionian Sea, with a fantastic view of both the sea and Mount Etna, especially if you choose to stay above the city. If Agrigento, Cefalù, and Palermo have an intriguing aspect, Taormina will leave you amazed. Taormina is considered one of the most expensive cities in Sicily, and to enter the city, you must park away from it. There are small buses that lead there as most roads are paved with stone. Taormina is located in the immediate vicinity (about 30 minutes by car) of the volcano Etna.
