By opting for a yacht charter in Taormina, you are sure to enjoy your stay in this splendid little town on the east coast of Sicily. Taormina also offers magnificent points of view over Sicily's highest peaks, such as Mount Etna, and is enriched by numerous historical remains that you will discover as you stroll through the streets. Among the must-sees are the ruins from the Roman era, such as the ancient theater, not far from the city center, and the Palazzo Corvaja, a remnant of the medieval era.
Overlooking the Ionian Sea, Taormina also has a lot to offer to water sports enthusiasts and pleasure boating enthusiasts. The beaches of Taormina, such as Mazzarò, Lido Spisone and Mazzeo, are simply an invitation to relax. Leaving the Sicilian coast, you can easily reach Isola Bella, which boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the province of Messina.
How to spend your days in Taormina?
Days in Taormina revolve around its many historic buildings, which dot its lively streets and squares and enhance its medieval character. The main medieval buildings, interspersed with a few shops and restaurants, line the small central street of the old town, Corso Umberto. We then take a brief historical detour to admire the ancient buildings overlooking the pedestrian streets, such as the Palazzio Corvalia, which overlooks Piazza Vittorio Emanuelle, and the magnificent churches recalling the city's significant religious periods. From Porta Messina to the Corso, one is quickly struck by the impressive number ofchurches with medieval facades built in the Baroque style, such as the church of San Caterina located near the Palazzio Corvalia.
Strolling through the city also means shopping in the many boutiques offering various handicrafts. Not to mention the gastronomic breaks, washed down with an excellent Doc wine, in the shade of a terrace or lemon trees. Lemon granita and Sicilian cassata can be enjoyed in the restaurants and cafés that line the city's main thoroughfare.
Your trips out to sea
At sea, a whole new adventure awaits you. Its proximity to the many places of interest with lovely beaches makes it a prime destination for a catamaran charter in Sicily. Straddling Catania and Messina, Taormina remains an excellent point of departure for reaching the commune of Giardini-Naxos, a renowned seaside resort revealing a sandy coastline facing the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea, such as the famous family-friendly fine sandy beach of Recanati.
But before you weigh anchor, treat yourself to a swim at Mazzorò beach, to the north of Isola Bella, which also offers a lovely pebble beach, connecting the island to Taormina, which appearsand disappears with the tides.
