We had the pleasure of a lovely lunch here 7 years ago but regretted not seeing the Greek Theater. So…..guess what we did this time.

Taormina is a charming hilltop town with narrow medieval streets, story book homes, shops and restaurants galore – known to be the most famous vacation spot on Sicily.

The Greek Theater (believed to have been built in the Hellenistic period and then re-built by the Romans in 2 AD) perfectly frames Mt. Edna or the Mediterranean depending on your seat. Renowned for is acoustics it is still being used today for concerts and performances.
