Idyllicly perched on a rocky promontory high above the sea, Taormina has been the most popular tourist destination in Sicily for a couple of hundreds of years, ever since it became an integral part of the Grand Tour. Beautifully restored mediaeval buildings, breathtaking views around every corner and a giddy network of winding streets strewn with shops, bars and restaurants make for a perfect holiday spot.
Taormina’s past is Sicily’s history in a microcosm: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, the French and the Spanish all came, saw, conquered and left.

Antico Teatro Greco di Taormina (Skip-The-Line Tickets included in Private Allinclusive Tour option).
You can go inside on your own or if you wish, you have the option to include a private licensed guide for an additional fee (on Private tour option).
The most important and best-preserved ancient monument in Taormina is the theater.
It was built in a wonderful panoramic point, from which you can admire the bulk of Etna and the Ionian Sea.
On some steps is engraved the name of Philistis, the wife of Hieron II, the tyrant of Syracuse who most likely in the third century BC. he had the Taormina theater built.
The building was rebuilt in Roman times and more precisely in the 2nd century AD.

Lunch and Wine Tasting (both included):
In a local restaurant/winery on the slope of the Etna Volcano. All guests visiting the winery are welcome to stay for an “Italian style” tasting, held on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
