Taormina Surroundings

Description

Called Tauromenium in the past, Taormina overlooks the Jonian coast.
When Johann Wolfgang Goethe reached Taormina in 1787 on his journey in Sicily he was enraptured by the enchanting scenery and admiring the amphitheatre acknowledged " that never had a theatre audience a similar sight before it".
The hidden corners, the atmosphere, the colours of Taormina enchant the modern wayfarer as much as they did Goethe.
Whatever the season, its irresistible fascination captures both those who seek a peaceful holiday in contact with nature and those who prefer action, excitement, meetings. Futhermore, the great international cultural events which take place there contribute towards making Taormina the best centre to know the rest of tourist Sicily.
