Taormina is a hill-top resort on the east coast of Sicily, about 50 km north of Catania, with the Greek Theatre and views of Etna. The drive follows the A18 motorway and the Taormina exit, followed by a steep road up to the town. The historic centre along Corso Umberto is a ZTL and the main part is pedestrian, so the driver stops at the car parks at the edge, such as Porta Catania or Lumbi. Taormina station is at sea level in Giardini-Naxos, a few kilometres below the town, with a shuttle bus up the hill.
Taormina stretches along Corso Umberto, between Porta Messina and Porta Catania, and the whole town can be crossed on foot in half an hour. The Ancient Theatre is at the north end, and Piazza IX Aprile offers a terrace towards the sea and Etna. The Villa Comunale gardens are a short walk below the Corso. A cable car runs down to Mazzarò and Isola Bella beach. Coaches bring visitors from the cruise ships at Giardini-Naxos, and the town is busiest between spring and autumn.
Public transport instead: Trenitalia and local bus train + bus Regionale + shuttle bus from Catania Centrale (after Alibus from the airport) to Taormina-Giardini station, then bus to Taormina — about 60–90 min, regular, 2 changes.
