About Taormina

Taormina rewards photographers at almost every hour: honey-coloured stone lanes, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and the Teatro Antico framing Mount Etna and the sea in a single sweep. For something more personal than a self-guided walk, the Taormina: Photo Shoot with a Local Photographer pairs you with someone who knows exactly where the light falls, while the Sunset Taormina Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Experience Sicily in Iconic Style turns the golden hour into a moving backdrop of coastal viewpoints.
