Taormina Hotels

The beautiful town of Taormina, Sicily is fast becoming one of Europe's more popular travel destinations. In ancient times Taormina was a Greek colony (back then called Tauromenium), dating from about 400 BC, which submitted to Roman authority during the Second Punic War in 212 BC.

From a tourists point of view Taormina is a veritable paradise. With beautiful beach areas (accessible via a Funicular) along the coastline, the warm Ionian sea awaits with a high salt content and a remarkably warm temperature.

Taormina is nestled in among an extremely hilly coastline, and is about 3/4 of an hours drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mt. Etna. The countryside is spotted with small traditional hamlets, filled with gelato shops, unique churches and friendly townspeople. Taormina is also blessed with a large outdoor amphitheatre, which to this day hosts large concerts of popular contemporary artists .
