Taormina - The Most Beautiful Town in Sicily? Exploring the Hilltop Paradise in Italy
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 06. 2024
- What can we say? Taormina LIVES up to the HYPE! An exquisite hilltop town with a magical atmosphere, it sits on the east coast of Sicily near Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. Just a stone's throw away from the Strait dividing Sicily from the Italian Peninsula, it is a town known for its ancient Greco-Roman theater still used today, beautifully restored medieval buildings, breathtaking views around every corner, and a weaving network of winding streets strewn with shops, bars and restaurants.
Could it possibly be the most beautiful town in Sicily? In this episode, we stroll through the gorgeous park of Villa Comunale and showcase its breathtaking views, visit the 2nd largest Greek theatre in Sicily, find pistachio and granita heaven at Bam Bar, and wade through the water on a narrow stretch of sand to reach Isola Bella - a tiny island and nature reserve… all while eating our fair share of paninis!
Taormina is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world, and the mild Sicilian climate makes it an ideal destination any time of the year for a walking tour!

About Us:
When we were in our early 20’s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 4 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We recently moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, traveling to all 20 regions of Italy by the end of 2022! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions of Italy have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

Ahh yes we are trying to get there! 😍💯
I love my Island! Rich in history.
It is heaven on earth! 😍 We’re so happy to be here! 🤗 Where in Sicily are you from? 🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats The Palermo region. I am a first generation American, but my family resides on the Island. My Nonno and Nonna are still truckin along. People don't realize to know Italy they must get to know Sicily. It's got so much to offer. Most folks don't know about it, but thanks to you guys and other people on CZcams has brought needed attention. Thank You!
Going to Sicily and Sardegna in September, and I am super stoked to find your channel and great tips on the island - New Subscriber 👍
In ancient greek theaters in South Italy, gladiators never fought, but actors performed greek comedies and tragedies. The fights began in the Roman amphitheaters, not theaters, few centuries later.
anche io l'ho pensato, invece ho controllato ed è vero. Per un certo periodo il Teatro di Taormina fu anche adattato per combattimenti di Gladiatori.
@@MrItaliansound I am from Sicily and I just discovered this story about gladiators! Cool!
@@julienbk2291 One does not need to be Italian to love Italy.
Exactly what I wanted to say as well! For history nerds not very well explained in the video. By the way the park was donated to the town after Lady Florences death...we have spent many hours in that park enjoying the shade and of course the views. We were in Taormina just before the G7 meeting, the road up to the village was of course newly tarmaced for the meeting a nice plus but unfortunately an olive grove was chopped down and the area used for landing Trump and co ....
Thanks for your comments! We did a lot of research on this and through numerous sources including sites such as Visit Sicily, there was a point in history that the theatre was used for gladiatorial games 🇮🇹 www.visitsicily.info/en/il-teatro-greco-di-taormina/
I lived in Italy for 7 years and often return. So in the meantime I follow multiple vlogs of Italy. Besides Nikki of Positano and Kylie of Tuscany you have become the 3rd channel of my trichotomy. The amount of effort you 2 put in as videographers is compelling. You achieve the perfect blend of scenery, suggestions, info for foodies and just enough views of the 2 of you that are usually humorous that the vlog doesn't become all about you! Bravo
Thank you so much Dan, your kind words have made our day! That really means a lot to us and we are honoured to have you on this journey with us 🥰 We follow Nikki and Kylie as well, they are awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what part of Italy did you live in? 🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Vicenza. I am retired US Army Special Forces, so ask a way, I can handle it. LOL As you begin your invasion of the mainland, don't forget sublime Paestum. 3 other suggestions. Fiesole, originally a hilltop Etruscan town later conquered by the Romans, It sits on a ridgeline overlooking Florence with incredible views. #7 bus from the train station will take you. Great place to stay/eat unwind after hectic day in Florence. Don't miss steep walk up to the Monastery and the Roman/Etruscan site, with a Roman amphitheater where most likely you will be the ONLY ones sitting there. When visiting Venice, I like to stay at Punta Sabbioni, a ferry ride out of Venice with a beach, restaurants and away from the overwhelming bustle that is Venice. And of course when Venice was a City State you would arrive by boat, so you will see the fortifications that protected it. When you get to the Dolomites, try a "via ferrata" with a guide. 2 pieces of advice on security...buy a battery-operated smoke/carbon monoxide device since many Italian apartments don't have one. About $20 bucks on Amazon. Also a "wedge door stop security alarm" $14 this prevents your door from opening and sets off an alarm. "in bocca al lupo"
@@danstoye3902 Wow, thank you for all the recommendations, they will definitely come in handy down the line! 🥰 How awesome, what a small world, we used to work for Bus2Alps and live in Florence, we hung out with the Vicenza guys all the time at Lions Fountain, Uncle Jimmy's and Red Garter! One definitely doesn't forget the army guys we came across 🤣
@@TheGlobalExpats Yikes, definitely a small world....funny story. The Verona Arena had a concert given by Santana that I attended with a bunch of Paratroopers from Vicenza and we had front row seats. This was in the 70's and even @ rock concerts the It's were a bit reserved with their applause. Of course we were standing up and yelling and the lead singer asked who the hell we were! Good times! I never really hung out in Florence, we were always in Venice or the Dolomites climbing/skiing. I could tell some other stories but would get kicked off CZcams for sure. LOL If I can be helpful in some way to you-all let me know! Happy Thanksgiving!
Another gem of a video!! Your vlogs are very enticing. Thanks for sharing.
I have just been there a couple of weeks ago. OMG that area of sicily is stunning. Thank you guys for your charming and perfectly timed videos! (-:

Keep up the good work of teasing me about siciliy you guys! I'll get there one day...

@@TheGlobalExpats no, thank you. One day I'll be there!
Lucky you lapping up the tastes, sights and sounds of Sicily. One of my favourite places. Very nice to relive travel experiences through your videos.
Thank you for your kind words, David! It is such a stunning island, which parts have you visited before? 🥰🇮🇹

Much with our Trip !! So nice that u guys do this !!! One love !! NYC
Aww thanks Ben, we are thrilled you found our videos helpful & we hope you had an amazing trip! 🥰🇮🇹
6:20 many thanks for featuring the lesser theatre: the Odeon. We were in Taormina two days ago and would probably have missed it had we not seen your video. 😎👍
so nice!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! Love how they paint everything in such exuberant colors. That island off the beach is serene and quiet compared to the crowded beach area. Can you imagine watching a play at the theater with the volcano glowing in the background? I hope to make it to Sicily one day. The furthest south I've been is Sorrento.
Ah yes that would be absolutely incredible to experience, Jeannette! 😍 We hope you manage to make it to Sicily one day soon 🥰🇮🇹
Hope u make it I don’t have to imagine what u mentioned and as a Sicilian everyone is welcome to enjoy and experience our beautiful island who appreciates kindness love and culture!!
U need to go!!! And enjoy
Beautiful Taormina....I used to go there for a walk every Sunday..
That sounds incredible Iveta! 🥰
I love this video! It's really well made! You've put so many efforts on making this. I'm heading to Taormina next week and your video gave me more ideas, thanks! You guys make a cute couple.
Great video and editing. Taormina is gorgeous
Thank you so much! 🥰 and yes it is! 😍🇮🇹
Another Great Vid ! Can't believe you didn't go to Castelmola, that would have blown your socks off. Maybe that's on another vid, will have to keep watching...
Beautiful island, great video
Thank you so much! It really is 😍
Our Honeymoon place! So lovely!
Excellent choice Daisy and Alex! It’s such a gorgeous place 😍
Brilliant video guys really enjoyed this 'putting me in the holiday mood "I must return to Taormina it was many years since I visited it ' such a beautiful town ' Scottish rock singer Jim Kerr of the band Simple Minds owns a hotel in Taormina called Hotel Villa Angelo ' another great video keep up the good work bringing everyone beautiful Sicily ' 🇮🇹💚
Thank you so much Fred, your comments always make our day! 🥰 Hopefully you can make it back to Taormina soon! 🇮🇹 And if we’re ever back there we will have to check out that hotel Villa Angelo 🤗
@@TheGlobalExpats aw thank you my friend ' Jim Kerr of rock pop band Simple Minds are very famous & really good ' looking forward to checking out more of your videos 🇮🇹
Italy it is amazing 👍
Taormina is magnificent.
Beautiful video! 😊 I'm Sicilian and I love Taormina 😍
4 me Sicily is Italys secret gem.
We completely agree Jo! 😍🇮🇹
Amazing!!
Thank you Janice! 🥰
We drove around the island in 2019. Taormina was my favorite town!!
It is absolutely stunning! 😍 We’re so happy you enjoyed it Ruth! 🤗🇮🇹
The Greek Theatre footage is beautiful!! The small Greek Theatre is really interesting too! Ciao Tino!! Beautiful town!!! Love from Vermont
We love that you are enjoying our videos Rebekah, it’s made our day! 🥰 and yes, Taormina is incredible, like a postcard town! 😍🇮🇹
it is wrong to say greek theater but it must be said greek roman theater because the base of the theater is greek and all the rest was done by the romans
@@giancarloscevola8785
You’re right that the theatre (sic) was originally Greek, and that the Romans later made some modifications.
It’s often useful however to use the name they use in Taormina which is Teatro Antico which covers it pretty well.
Beautiful footage!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Being Sicilan(American) I have seen and been exposed to a lot of people talking about a lot of Sicilian cities and towns. All are very nice and have their own allures. Taormina was seen by me to be a touristy town. A place tourists know because they don't know the rest of Sicily too much. That said, it isn't just that. Taormina is absolutely fabulous. Wonderful. It has so much everything for it's size. The views are incredible.
There’s a big difference between ‘…being touristy’ and having a lot of tourists; in spite of The White Lotus effect, Taormina remains the latter.
@@elaineblackhurst1509so it’s just a fake beauty? Don’t understand ur comment?
Nothing about Sicily is fake!
I mean great artist and people of antiquity spoke of this town and worked there! Created great pieces there! Oscar Wilde. For one example.
And for a reason. Just in case the word effect is meant literally in ur comment!
It’s not a facade it’s realistic for our island nothing but amazing and magical
@@Thehermitist
You have completely misunderstood my comment; we have just returned from Sicily today including nine days in Taormina - it’s very, very busy, more so I think than usual for the first day of October.
We have been going nearly every year for thirty years; I do not think Taormina touristy, but it *is* full of tourists - that is what I said and it is pretty much an accurate assessment.
I think you need to address the person who wrote the original comment with which I did not agree, and neither it seems do you; Taormina is indeed a very special, magical, and unique destination - La perla dello Ionio.
Great tour you gave us. You must go back and filmed more and stay in Excelsior Taormina and show us it's facilities. Thank you for a great video.
WOW 😍
🥰
You guys are so awesome. Great personalities. Love your video skills. How long are you planning on touring all of Italy? It’s my dream tour! Will you guys make a detailed itinerary of everything you did and everywhere you went and stayed at the end of your trip so people can just download it and use it as a template? Can’t wait for more videos. Thank you for doing this!
Hey Alsky, thank you for your kind words! I would give a time period but right it looks like we will be touring for as long as it takes us to visit all 20 regions 😅 That sounds like an incredible idea, I have Google docs of everything we've done so when we land more on our feet then I will try and compile all of my research to be used as a template for others! It is awesome to have you on this journey with us 🇮🇹
You guys are so lucky.
Thank you, Larry! 🥰
Those gladiator sandals are badass! Love the South African accent too. Take care!
Hahah thank you so much! 🤗
Beautiful video! 😊 I'm Sicilian and I love Taormina 😍
Thank you Victoria, It is truly an incredible little town! What part of Sicily are you from? 🥰

Just subscribed to your channel, Great videos of Sicily. The videos are fun and informative
Thank you so much, that means a lot! 🥰
Loving ur all the videos!! So well put!!!🧡 which town is ur favourite one in Sicily?
Thank you so much! We should be doing a video soon on our entire Sicily trip where we will cover our favourite city 🥰
Awesome video. What time a year did you guys go?
I've watched your Videos, it's nice of you to present Sicily in a sublim way,
I live in Catania, near Taormina, about 50 minutes by car.
Awsome vids kids, Viva
One of my favourites of yours, as this helped us choose where we would visit. Visiting in six weeks time, and staying in Taormina during our four day visit.
Did you have any issues from anyone, with flying your drone in Taormina? I've just got a Dji Mini Pro 3 and want to capture something pretty special, so making sure I know beforehand. Got my EASA certificate and EU Operater registration.
Day 5 of 30 doing this. Can feel my shoulder slowly opening up
It’s a beautiful place.
It really is! 😍🇮🇹
Honestly it’s amazing, I went for a wedding in September. If you’re thinking of going, go! You feel like you’re living in an Italian movie
Your photography is excellent and truly beahtiful.The clours and dafination is beautiful .what equipment are you using specially drone filming .keep it up.📷👍📸😁💞🌹
Hey Raj, thank you! We are using an iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 12, it adjusts everything for us + we have a DJI Mini 2! 🥰
Place looks amazing!
Quality video👌🏼💯

Can't wait to get there next month ! 10 days in Sicily, hopefully it'll be worth it. Do you think we should be renting a car or by public transport? We're planning to visit Corleone and Vitelli Bar from godfather
That sounds incredible, Kimi! 10 days in Sicily will be worth it. To get to the major cities from other major cities, the trains will be enough. However, to get to the smaller towns such as Corleone and Savoca, I think a car would be a lot easier and less of a hassle! Have an awesome time in Sicily, it is stunning here 😅🇮🇹
Excellent videos and enjoy watching each one of them. I noticed you guys had some drone shots. I’m wondering if it’s hassle free there to fly drone in Sicily, ie no police or other authorities interference?
Thank you Adam! In terms of the drone, we have a DJI Mini 2 and have not had any problems with police or authorities, however, our drone is registered with the Italian aviation authorities and also under the weight class that a license is required for. I hope that helps! 🙌🏽
The sprinkler? I love it 😅
😂😂😂
Taormina is a 3 dressed as a 9. Certainly not comparable to Saint Tropez. Give 3-4 hours there and you are done. Underwhelming pebble beach with cold water. This very talented video team makes it far better than what it is.
Is there any issues with flying a drone over the areas where you were?
Loved u video, how did u get there? Driving? Beautiful spot
Thank you Anna, we took a train from Capo d'Orlando to Messina, then another from Messina to Giardini Naxos - Taormina, then the bus from the station to the Taormina town. It is beautiful and so was the train ride there! 🥰
A few quaint notes: we stayed in the airbnb home of admiral Bertram Ramsay's butler 😃
Just below the most expensive hotel in all of Taormina, below also the the amphitheatre. We had a huge roof terracce overlooking all of Taormina, and piano music floating down from the hotel. Compared to Taormina prices this was a throwaway, with less than 30 Euro per person and night. Very romantic.
That said, Taormina was too touristic for us. The small local market had to be found after some small alleyways at 8a.m. in the morning - lateron you cannot even see the old buildings due to all the floods of tourists by the busload. Too"posh" for us.
Hello guys, i m startin watching your videos i wish visit Sicily october next. I worry about not getting a sun day but not problem...🤷🏻♂️....what month you visit Taormina?
Hey, yes October is unpredictable in Sicily but there definitely will be sunny days! We visited Taormina in July 🥰
It seems like Bar Sunrise is closed forever? Just arriving taormina.
If, as you say, you love history, my suggestion would be to give exact dates for the ruins & the towns. A little less about the gelato which we can get awesome in the US That would make it so much more interesting versus “long long long long time ago”. Great cinematography!!! Ty
i loved the zoolander quote
Had the best pistachio swordfish dinner in Syracuse years ago....
That sounds delicious Frank! 😍
Would love to know where you got that beautiful red skirt!
Hi! New subscriber here! I’m planning to visit Taormina, Sicily in June. Do you think 4 days is enough to stay in Taormina?
I went last September and am going again in July.I think 4 days is sufficient to see the town and the surrounding area, but walk up to Castelmola.
At 2:41 is a SLC mini submarine (called "maiale", pig in english) that was used in WWII. The italians disabled two british battleships in Alexandria harbour using those ;)
Thank you, It is an incredible story and part of history! I can’t imagine being one of the ‘maiale’ pilots 😅

Would this be a good place for a retired American expat to live? Does it seem to be affordable for a retiree?
Hey Larry, as much as we would love to give you a definitive answer we are definitely not experts on the topic, however, we can point you in the right direction! Facebook is probably your best source of information, there are numerous groups to join that cover moving to Sicily/Italy and the process involved in it. I have seen multiple posts asking about Americans retiring in Italy so start with these groups: "Visit Sicily", "Expats Living in Sicily", "Expats Living in Italy", and "Ultimate Italy" Good luck and we hope everything works out for you! 🥰

I want to travel with ya’s……
Did u guys walk everywhere or did u use car?
Hey Noemi, we just walked everywhere! When we arrived at the Taormina train station though, we did take the city bus to get to the top of the hill because it is waaaayyyy too steep to climb 😂 that costs €1 per person. Also, to get down to the beach & Isola Bella, we took the cable car, which was about a 5 minute ride and €3 each way. Hope that helps! 🤗
@@TheGlobalExpats thank you so much! I visited yesterday with my friend and the bus put us on top of the hill. The city and the Isola Bella were beautiful! Thanks to your video we even ate the delicious pistacchio ice cream at Nove ❤️ great vid
@@noshiemusic ahh that’s awesome!! 😍We’re so happy to hear that! 🥰❤️
what is the name of the hotel or apartment?
Hotel Continental Taormina! 🤗🇮🇹
how many days needed to see sicily
At least two weeks - we were there for three. Palermo alone is gorgeous, Catania very interesting, then you have Messina and other ancient sites ... we will return for much more. Be aware, that public transport is problematic to explore the whole island - best, if you can,rent a car, or scooters.
We agree! 👌🏽
