Start your day with a fragrant cup of aromatic Arabic coffee accompanied by some delicious pastries, cakes and sandwiches at this cozy coffee shop.
Take a scenic cable car ride to Taormina, enjoying breathtaking views of the coast, before walking down Corso Umberto, the town's main street, and browsing its many artisanal shops and boutiques.
Relax in this charming osteria while savouring a delicious pasta dish paired with a rich red wine from the Etna slopes. Don't forget to try the signature dish: pasta with sardines, pine nuts and raisins.
Walk off your meal by diving into the clear waters of this stunning beach, which is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand that is only visible during low tide. Snorkeling and kayaking are also popular activities here.
End your day with a sweet treat: a cannolo stuffed with fresh ricotta and candied fruit, or a cassata cake decorated with brightly coloured marzipan fruits. The perfect accompaniment to a cup of Italian espresso.
If you have more time, you may want to visit the Teatro Greco-Romano, the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, or the Cathedral of Saint Nicola. If you have less time, you can shorten your visit to Funivia Taormina or skip Pasticceria Roberto. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen, and to carry a refillable water bottle.
