Town on a hillside too steep to walk to seaside. Large Roman ruin although called Greek, and loads of shops for tourists. Felt safe. Bus services good. Worth a day or less.

5/5 - Excellent

Fabulous trip to Mount Etna with small company Etna People - brilliant - so knowledgeable.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Can be very busy. Fab views in all directions. loads of lovely food and drink in a variety of restaurants, cafes, ice cream places - was expensive but if you’re prepared for this then you can enjoy. Take a trip up to Castelmola, it’s worth it.

A beautiful Italian town. I read some reviews that said it is touristy but whilst it is very busy even at the end of season we always found quite spots and uncrowded restaurants and bars if you are prepared to walk a bit .

4/5 - Good

Taormina is a lovely town and the bus service to other nearby towns is good. However it is touristy and quite expensive.
