What to do and see in Taormina, Sicily: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

January 5, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

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.

This Sicilian cooking class was really a highlight of our week in Sicily. Louisa and Marco are wonderful hosts and Louisa is a talented chef with a passion for fresh simple local food, while Marco shares his interest in wine with the guests. Just the right amount of chopping and instruction, some conducted in their delightful garden and then seated at a table on their beautiful terrace for a dinner party to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

This is a great way to find out about real Sicilian cooking with Chef Massimo who is very passionate and knows his stuff - we had 14 in our group and whilst this is quite a large number, everyone got to cook as much / little as they wanted and Chef Massimo tried really hard to get everyone involved. We had a tour of the local market and really got to understand how to select the best produce which makes a massive difference - both my daughters really enjoyed this, especially our Vegetarian daughter and Chef really talked through with her - we went back to the restaurant and made fresh pasta (macaroni) with tomato/aubergine sauce and Caponata(the Sicilian national dish I think) as well as the best meatballs ever (cooked in lemon leaves) and some great Zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and finally Sea Bream !!! - shame I couldn't have more wine as I was driving!!!

I used Luciano's Sicily Car Service and it was perfect. The driver Fabio was professional, in suit and tie, and navigated the tortuous roads perfectly. As my mother is 96 and unable to walk very far, especially when there are cobblestones, he managed to get us closest to where we wanted to be. Really excellent service.
