In the 1800s, after the Goethe praised its beauty throughout Europe, mentioning it in his book Italian Journey, Taormina became a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour – the long journey made in continental Europe – by the young European aristocracy of the time to enrich their own culture.
Today, it is a tourist capital of Sicily, and many travellers enliven its streets throughout the year.
During this walk you will visit Corso Umberto – the fashionable and charming main street, Piazza IX Aprile, the Church of St. Catherine, the Duomo di San Nicola, Vicolo Stretto – the narrowest street in Taormina, Palazzo Corvaja, the Roman Odeon, and the famous Ancient Greek Theatre.
The ancient Greeks loved to construct their buildings in beautiful scenic locations and here they found the pairing of Etna and the Naxos Bay, with a wonderful view, when sky is clear, to can admire Calabria coasts. It is, surely, the main monument of the city, not only for its intrinsic artistic value, but also for the scenic location in which it is placed. The view enjoyed from up there is even defined as the view par excellence. The one that is not to be missed when in Sicily.
The auditorium with the tiers is large enough to make it the second largest ancient theatre in Sicily after that of Syracuse. The niches that you can see behind housed the statues that to embellish it and for the same reason, the columns were added to the sides of the stage. This place underwent various adaptations in Roman times to also become an arena for gladiators. During the summer, music performances are held as well as theatre of international appeal.
Lunch with typical Sicilian appetizer, pasta and cannolo, typical pastry tubes with a ricotta cheese filling (drinks included)
