Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Taormina, Sicily
Volcanic Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea provide the cinema-worthy backdrop for Taormina, Sicily's legendary resort town. Twisting medieval streets and a second-century Greek theater add to its romantic air, which inspired the writings of D.H. Lawrence and Truman Capote. Take a cable car to the beach, or walk uphill behind the Church of St. Joseph for panoramic views.

I'm Claudio, born in Südtirol and raised between Germany and Catania. I'm an hiking guide and I work with the best tour operators operating on Etna.

Be amazed by the spectacular views that the thriving activity of the Sicilian volcano has shaped since the dawn of time, generating landscapes with sharp contrasts that will remain etched in your minds ...
4. Ancient Theatre of Taormina

The view of Mount Etna and the sea beyond is absolutely superb at Taormina's 10,000-seat ancient Greek amphitheater, which was erected in the third century BC and expanded by the Romans.

This theater and its location are stunning -- I'm surprised this isn't a more widely known attraction in Italy or even all of Europe. The history here (both Greek and Roman) and the spectacular beauty and setting of this coastal town (with an active volcano steaming in the background) make this a MUST when visiting Sicily.

A lovely park with plenty of shady areas, stunning views of the coastline and Etna, beautiful planting and quirky Victorian follies, this garden was created by an Englishwoman, Lady Florence Trevelyan and donated to the town in the 1920s. Lots of places to sit and relax. Definitely worth a visit.

We have 9 days in Taormina and strolled along Corso Umberto on our first day. This street is exactly what you would expect from an Italian town as soon as you walk through Messina Gate. Lots of shops, cafes and restaurants with some beautiful buildings, churches, narrow side lanes and a spectacular view of the ocean when you get to the other end. A great way to spend a couple of days trying the different cafes and restaurants. Enjoy!

You can see the beach from Taormina. So, take the funicular down and visit this lovely pebble beach. Also consider searching for some of the beautiful sea-rounded rocks that speak to the varied geology of the area.

Beautiful square bordered with churches and cafes with lovely trees and artists painting local scenes - we bought a beautiful watercolour to bring home with us. Standing by the railings at the front, there are fabulous views over the bay. The square is nice in the daytime but it comes to life at night when everything is lit up and it is full of people. At the edge of the square is a lovely cafe/bar - Caffe Wunderbar - a lovely place to sit for a drink and listen to live music at night. Definitely worth a visit to the square and the church of San Giuseppe.
