5. Taormina
You can find Taormina on the northeastern coast of Sicily. This Italian town sits high on a clifftop with the most unbelievable views of the sea and the ever-looming Mount Etna, Sicily’s active volcano. It has lovely streets to explore, full of restaurants, boutiques, and cafes.
One of the highlights to see while here is its ancient Greek theater, which still puts on live performances of everything from pop concerts to opera. Be aware that the streets here are very narrow.
So if you’re reaching this stunning destination by car, you should leave it at one of the car parks outside the town center. In the evenings, you can linger in the Pretty Piazza IX, which is a fantastic place to take a stroll.
Locals and tourists meet here to socialize in one of the many cafes. And if you wish to explore further, a day trip to Mount Etna is also worth considering. The volcanic terrain is captivating.
