Landscapes and gardens


The magic of Etna
One of the largest natural attractions to the area of Taormina is Etna, the largest volcano in Europe, reaching over 3000 meters above sea level. As described by Omero, Esiodo and Goeth, this monstrous volcano is still active today and offers very impacting spectacles for any tourists that decide to visit its crater with the guided tours provided.

The luxuriant gardens
Aside from white sandy beaches and a shimmering blue sea, Taormina is also famous for its luxuriant gardens. Villa Comunale Duca Colonna di Cesarò is one of the most striking gardens, an ocean of green in the middle of the city, presents an exotic vegetation of Mediterranean and tropical plants. Located to the south of the Greek Theatre, this garden is animated with palm trees, cactus plants, colourful flowers and a panoramic view of Etna.
