Taormina, in Southern Sicily, is the quintessential Italian town perched high upon a hill with unbelievable panoramic views of the sea below.
Albeit, it is Sicily’s most popular vacation destination, and completely engulfed by tourists. For us, it was perfect to just spend the day there.
However, the town of Taormina is completely charming with its candy-coloured buildings, winding narrow lanes, historic architectural ruins definitely worth visiting, and of course, views overlooking the Mediterranean as far as the eye can see. Here’s how to spend a day or two in Sicily’s most picturesque town with this Taormina Travel Guide:
Do.
Walk along Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian boulevard.
EAT.
Sipp a capp in the infamous Wunderbar Cafe, where the drinks are ridiculously overpriced, but the view alone is worth it.
See.
Teatro Greco, the ancient Greek theatre picturesquely suspended above the sea.
Wear.
Breezy bright dress + massive floppy hat + embellished sandals for navigating the cobblestone streets in style.
Outfit Details: Skirt: from Barcelona (sim. here) // Shirt: Zara // Sandals: old (sim. here) // clutch: Martha Porter for Kate Spade // Hat: Sicily Market Find (sim here).
