You have come to an extraordinary island. A jewel of inestimable value nestling in the Mediterranean Sea. You will be enchanted by the wonderful sea, beautiful beaches, the breeze, the sea smells, the warmth of the sun and the islanders. Arriving on the Ionian coast you will find: fine sand, pebbles, fine stones and rocks. The coast of Taormina – from Capo Schisò to Capo Taormina, continuing on to Mazzarò Beach – will  enchant you with its crystal clear water, long walks, and hidden caves and of course the delicious food you can sample on the sea shore. It’s well worth a visit.

Welcome to Taormina. The town overlooks the Mazzarò beach with its pebbles and deep turquoise waters. Its location in a cove full of caves is the ideal starting place for boat trips to nearby caves. You should not miss a visit to the Grotta Azzurra with the play of light and reflections on the water and the variety of aquatic species.

We recommend not to miss the “Pearl of the Mediterranean”, Isola Bella. This small island with its exotic vegetation is connected to the pebble beach by a thin strip of land that emerges according to the rhythm of the tides and currents. A real oasis of white beaches and clear, transparent sea, that earned the title of a protected nature reserve in 1998.

We have many other exciting places to recommend. In Taormina bay there is Spisone beach with its pebbles, blue water and rocky islets. South of Taormina is the coastline of Giardini Naxos: Mediterranean vegetation, fine sand and pebbles. In the evening there are an infinite number of things to do till late with the numerous bars, restaurants and Taormina nightlife.

For a relaxing holiday you could choose the quiet Recanati beach: wide and sandy, partly occupied by resorts and hotels, it is the ideal places for afternoon walks or a relaxing swim.

Schisò beach, one of the most popular beaches in Giardini Naxos where the first Greek settlers landed, will greet you with fine golden sand washed by the intense blue sea.

If you are a sports fan, take a canoe ride along the rock coves and lava stones that make up Porto Saia beach.

Bring your swimsuit, towel and sun cream. Every day you can choose a different beach, an activity, a taste and enjoy your wonderful adventure discovering Taormina and its surroundings.
