Taormina - The Most Beautiful Town in Sicily? Exploring the Hilltop Paradise in Italy

What can we say? Taormina LIVES up to the HYPE! An exquisite hilltop town with a magical atmosphere, it sits on the east coast of Sicily near Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. Just a stone's throw away from the Strait dividing Sicily from the Italian Peninsula, it is a town known for its ancient Greco-­Roman theater still used today, beautifully restored medieval buildings, breathtaking views around every corner, and a weaving network of winding streets strewn with shops, bars and restaurants.

Could it possibly be the most beautiful town in Sicily? In this episode, we stroll through the gorgeous park of Villa Comunale and showcase its breathtaking views, visit the 2nd largest Greek theatre in Sicily, find pistachio and granita heaven at Bam Bar, and wade through the water on a narrow stretch of sand to reach Isola Bella - a tiny island and nature reserve… all while eating our fair share of paninis!

Taormina is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world, and the mild Sicilian climate makes it an ideal destination any time of the year for a walking tour!

I lived in Italy for 7 years and often return. So in the meantime I follow multiple vlogs of Italy. Besides Nikki of Positano and Kylie of Tuscany you have become the 3rd channel of my trichotomy. The amount of effort you 2 put in as videographers is compelling. You achieve the perfect blend of scenery, suggestions, info for foodies and just enough views of the 2 of you that are usually humorous that the vlog doesn't become all about you! Bravo

Going to Sicily and Sardegna in September, and I am super stoked to find your channel and great tips on the island - New Subscriber 👍

In ancient greek theaters in South Italy, gladiators never fought, but actors performed greek comedies and tragedies. The fights began in the Roman amphitheaters, not theaters, few centuries later.

Went to Taoromina in June. It is a magical place! So gorgeous.

[marcocarlson]

Being Sicilan(American) I have seen and been exposed to a lot of people talking about a lot of Sicilian cities and towns. All are very nice and have their own allures. Taormina was seen by me to be a touristy town. A place tourists know because they don't know the rest of Sicily too much. That said, it isn't just that. Taormina is absolutely fabulous. Wonderful. It has so much everything for it's size. The views are incredible.

[daviddeveau]

Lucky you lapping up the tastes, sights and sounds of Sicily. One of my favourite places. Very nice to relive travel experiences through your videos.

Grazie di ❤ ragazzi del reportage questo fa capire agli italiani e turisti di tutto il mondo che siamo la nazione più bella che ci sia in tutto da Sud a

Beautiful! Love how they paint everything in such exuberant colors. That island off the beach is serene and quiet compared to the crowded beach area. Can you imagine watching a play at the theater with the volcano glowing in the background? I hope to make it to Sicily one day. The furthest south I've been is Sorrento.
