They say first impressions count, so Taormina should have nothing
to worry about. Situated on a terrace of Mount Tauro, overlooking
the sparkling Ionian Sea and with spectacular views of Mount Etna
to the west, it's easy to see why Taormina has been seducing visitors
for centuries and continues to do so more than ever today. It was
the Greeks first, in the 5th century BC, and then along came the
Romans, the Arabs, the Spanish and the French...to be finally replaced
by a multinational and yearly influx of tourists wanting to savour
the warm Mediterranean climate and take in the fascinating history
and culture. Or maybe they've heard that Sicilians have one of the
longest life expectancies and are simply hoping to be let in on
the secret...
