Taormina Walking Tour
Taormina, Italy
Why Walk Taormina
Taormina sits on a terrace of rock 200 meters above the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna as its backdrop. The ancient Greek theater, built in the 3rd century BC and expanded by the Romans, is one of the most dramatically situated in the world. The Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street, runs through the medieval town past palaces, churches, and piazzas.
