Isola Bella or Bella Island is in the bay of Taormina and the curious thing about it is that you can walk to it! There is no need for a boat unless you really want to. You can swim if you fancy a challenge, but if you wait for the low tide, you can easily reach the shores of the islet on foot. This natural protected area is so precious and the locals are very proud of it. As a visitor, raise awareness and help preserve this paradise for others after you. So take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but your footsteps! Although it is really close, you can choose a holiday letting in Taormina with a better location that leaves you even closer to these types of tourist sites.

3. Stroll along the public garden of Villa Comunale

Get away from the crowds and have a pleasant walk along Villa Comunale and the public gardens around it. The area is full of bird feeders and nesting boxes as the lady who owned it was passionate about birds. From here, you will have magnificent views of the bay and you can also bring a picnic!

4. A visit to Castelmola

Just 3 miles from Taormina, there is the charming little village of Castelmola. This place is worth a visit as you will see a ruined medieval castle and a maze of little streets. From the castle or at some of the viewpoints of the village you can admire the panoramic views of the valley below and on Etna. Enjoy a meal and take a sip of their most popular beverage: the almond wine.

5. The Etna Volcano

If you stay in Taormina you will find several tours that will take you to the Etna Volcano. Take a tour for the day and ascend the crater by 4x4! If you prefer to drive there yourself, you can leave your car at the bottom, unless you have a 4WD. Enjoy and explore the area.

6. Visit the Aeolian Islands

Taormina is also a good base for other day trips. Enjoy a day out and visit the Aeolian Islands. Book a tour that will take you on a cruise, stopping at Panarea island for a dip in the sea and some time to visit the village. Then continue to Stromboli Island and admire its volcano! But the best moment is at the end of the tour when the sun sets on Stromboli Volcano. A magical show of red and orange shades in the sky. You can also have a day trip to Cefalu to see its promenade, beaches and monuments. It's about two hours from Taormina, so if you find it too tiring a journey for a single day, you can book a holiday rental in Cefalu for a day or a weekend, so you can get around and have time to rest.

7. Visit the “Godfather” filming locations!

“The Godfather” is one of those films that has its place in history and marked an era in the filming industry.

You just need to book a tour and this amazing tour will take you to all these spots including Savoca village, the Vitelli bar, Forza d’Agro, and the Chiesa di San Nicolo, where he got married.
