Taormina Ancient Theater

Second-largest ancient theatre in Sicily, built 300 BC with views of Mount Etna and the Calabrian coast—now host to opera and concerts under the Sicilian sun, paired with local wine experiences.

What to do there

AdventureTaormina Ancient TheaterThe ancient theater of Tauromenion perches on a clifftop with Mount Etna and the sea as backdrop - perhaps the world's most spectacular theater setting. Originally Greek (3rd century BC), rebuilt by Romans, it still hosts performances. The view alone justifies the journey.
