Taormina Travel Guide
Italy
Taormina is a small hill town in eastern Sicily, Italy, with a population of 5,790. It sits on Sicily’s Ionian coast, with views towards the sea and surrounding landscapes shaped by the town’s elevated position.
Taormina has no named airport serving it directly, so visitors arriving by air need to arrange the final journey from elsewhere in Sicily. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, making the town’s historic hilltop setting more central to a visit than a specific nearby beach.
