Odeon of Taormina

The Odeon is another smaller Greek-style theater built during the Roman Empire.
The remains of the Odeon were only discovered by chance during construction work in 1892.

The ancient Greek amphitheater is considered the pinnacle of historical sights in Taormina. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the shimmering sea, the Bay of Naxos, and the towering Mount Etna. Built of brick in the 3rd century BC, it is one of the largest of its kind in Sicily. It is believed to have been expanded under the Romans, but Greek inscriptions can still be seen on the seats.

Isola Bella Bay

Highlight • Beach

Picturesque beach. Unfortunately, it's also overcrowded. Not for people with foot problems. There are lots of steps down and then back up again after a swim. Boat tours and, unfortunately, annoying massages are offered here. Be careful, the pebble beach is rough.

Taormina Public Garden

Highlight • Natural

The small public park is one of the less crowded places in Taormina, offers a pleasant shady atmosphere and at the balustrade a wonderful view of the coast and Etna. And at the northern entrance there's pretty good granita!

July 24, 2024,Taormina mit Theater & Stadtpark

City tour in Taormina at 37°C. The city park is a highlight, and not just because of the shade. The ancient theater is also worth seeing. From there you also have a great view of Mount Etna, which was spewing lava again yesterday. The negative thing is that instead of €5, as written everywhere, admission now costs €12.
