Memories of Sicily

Advantages: Beautiful, Unique and great value for money
Disadvantages: None, in my view, the prettiest place in the world!

...at the Hotel Del Corso, Taormina, stands at a rate of 90 Euros per person, per night. Each room offers Shower/Bath, Air conditioning, Satellite TV, Hairdryers and a fantastic view over one of the prettiest towns in the world. You have no problem finding somewhere to eat in the evenings, as Taormina hosts hundreds of restaurants and pizzarias serving fresh and local dishes. The value for money is excellent! Sicily is a historic sight, therefore ...
...hosts one of the most famous Roman theatres in the world today. Also not forgetting, Taormina sits at the foot of the biggest volcanoe in europe, Etna, which you can ski on in the winter. But for me, travel and getting around Taormina and Sicily, is excellent value for money. A standard ticket on a bus is the equivilent of around 30p travelling somewhere local, and if you are travelling a little further, the cost for the bus does not rise that much! ...

Hidden Mediterranean Treat

Advantages: Beautiful place
Disadvantages: Uphill climbs in some places.

...a variety of people in Taormina, not only italian, but spanish, german, english and americans. The americans love Sicily as they get to look at Mount Etna. The excursion to Mount Etna worked out at about 60 euros per person which in my opinion was extremely expensive. This only paid for a bus to the bottom of the Mountain, then you have to pay extra to go upto the top. There is other beaches on the island which are really soft but to get to everything ...
...cheap which cost about 1 euro single to almost anywhere nearby. Renting a car in my opinion is not recommended as the roads are way to steep, bendy and dangerous. Eating out is expensive in Sicily and would cost about 25 euros each for an evening meal. A bottle of wine is about 10 euros and bottles of water is about 2.50. It is a beautiful resort but one of those places which you go once in a lifetime for the beauty of it, or go every year if you ...

Taormina

Advantages: Beautiful Culture and Scenery
Disadvantages: Mad Drivers in traffic choked streets!

Taormina - Undeniably special, a very pretty hillside town and one of our favourite Sicilian holiday locations. Although expensive to stay here it is well worth coming here. Taormina is high on Monte Tauro so you have to travel downwards to the two bays below if you wish to visit the beach, Giardini-Naxos. We stayed in Villa Belevdere, via Bagnoli Croce, situated in the cliff, views absolutley stunning of the Bay of Naxos. We stayed here in early ...
...no restaurant in the evening here, the local trattorias are only a few minutes stroll away. Very busy place during June and September, very crowded with tourists in the main street Corso Umberto, but what an atmosphere! Music everywhere, and street entertainers! Absolutely fantastic. You walk alot here, as it is the best way of getting about, but there are quite reasonable taxis, and buses to get around, and the cable car service between Taormina ...

Taormina, Sicily

Advantages: historicaly interesting, prety town, great views
Disadvantages: long train journet from Palermo

Taormina is a very pretty town on the Eastern coast of Sicily. We took a very slow train journey from Palermo along the North coast, which took the best part of a day, having to change and wait in Messina. When you get to Taormina station you will find yourself at the bottom of the hill so you would need to hire a taxi or wait for a local bus to take you up to the town. The buses didn't seem too predictable but then we were arriving on a Sunday. ...
...more reliable. However, when you get up into the town you will realise that the journey is well worth it. Taormina is a very pretty historic town. Visit the amphitheatre for fantastic views of Mount Etna. A walk up a steep path behind the town affords more spectacular vies of Etna and the coast The town can basically be navigated from the main drag of shops and restaurants. Typically for Italy there is a vast range of prices. This can also be quite ...
