Taormina is an ancient town on the
east coast of Sicily, situated on a hill facing the
sea, just 10 minutes from the beaches. Monuments
and buildings exhibit the island’s history of
colonial influences after the Greeks: Arabs, Romans,
Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Spaniards, and French,
until the unification of Italy, 1861. A cable car
links the hilltop town to the beach in 2 minutes.
And mountains are easy to reach too.
