Taormina, Italy: Mount Etna with a View
In Taormina, every street ends in a spectacular sea view, and every restaurant overlooks Mount Etna.Coincidence? We think not.
Taormina has spent the last couple thousand years perfecting the art of showing off. From its unbelievably scenic Greek theater, Teatro Antico di Taormina, to its main square terrace Piazza IX Aprile overlooking the sea, every step takes you back a century. After wandering down Corso Umberto with a gelato, taking approximately 400,000 photos of the town's honey-colored buildings set against the Ionian Sea, Taormina plays its trump card: Mount Etna.
Mount Etna spends the entire day lurking in the distance. You can actually drive or fly up the volcano. While the view from town is incredible, the view of town is even better. On your way back down, stop at a vineyard growing grapes on its slopes because Sicily apparently thought what an active volcano needs is wine.
You'll stumble down the mountain and into one of Taormina's Michelin-starred restaurants, where they plate Sicilian classics, like savory cheesy arancini or sweet-and-sour caponata. Beach clubs around Isola Bella deliver luxury lounging and water sports, while the 5-star luxury hotels and resorts in Taormina offer viewpoints you swear couldn't possibly exist. If you're looking for even more glamor, visiting in June will bring the star-studded Taormina Film Festival, where world and Italian premiers light up the red carpet.
Although Mount Etna may garner all the attention, Taormina assumes it already has it.
