Taormina Travel Information

• Taormina’s star attraction is Lido Mazzaro, one of Sicily’s most sought-after beaches. Most flights to Toarmina are full of beachcombers and sunbathers looking to take advantage of the beach’s beautiful crescents. Lido Mazzaro is easily accessible via cable car from the center of town and is ideal for families spending time in Taormina with its perfect conditions for water sports and other beachside activities.
• Looking for ways to kill time during your day off the beach? Taormina offers plenty of cultural alternatives to sun and sand, including an impressive collection of galleries and museums. Art enthusiasts and history buffs book Taormina flights to check out the Museo Siciliano di Arte e Tradizioni Popolari (Museum of Art and Popular Traditions) and the Museo Archeologico di Taormina. The ruins of the Teatro Greco (Greek Theater) provide excellent photo opportunities while recalling Sicily’s historical grandeur.
• Finding cheap flights to Taormina during the summer months is nearly impossible due to the town’s popularity as a beach holiday destination. To avoid the rush of tourism, consider heading to Taormina in the spring or fall, and look for lodging in Giardini-Naxos, the neighboring town. Giardini-Naxos has taken a backseat to Taormina’s heavy tourist traffic, but this quaint, former Greek colony is just a mile or two from the center of Taormina and is easily accessible by public transportation or taxi.
