Sicilian Cooking Class with Wine tasting tour from Giardini Naxos

The lively seaside resort at the foot of Taormina, Giardini Naxos is one of the most popular sites among young people; not only for its long beaches, which are well equipped, but for its nightlife. The clubs, bars, and seashore, the many businesses that ensure every type of accommodation, as well as the archaeological sites of the first Greek settlements and also the close proximity to many other beautiful beaches and coves on the east coast of Sicily, are only a few of the reasons why Giardini Naxos is so desirable.

The gate provides access to the heart of Taormina, the most beautiful part of history, and visited the city. The famous Corso Umberto of Taormina, the road that crosses the entire historical center of the city and frequented by many tourists every day, is closed at the ends by two gates, Porta Catania and Porta Messina. In the middle of the street we find the door called the Clock Tower. The gates were built in the city’s fortification walls and provide access to the heart of Taormina, the most beautiful part of history and visited the city. The door to door on the north side is Porta Messina. Set within a stretch of wall that connects with the center of Taormina fortress, Castel Tauro, Porta Messina is newer than the other and until the unification of Italy in 1860, was called Porta Ferdinandea, and dates back to the Bourbon period in the nineteenth century, in the period in which reigned Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies.

Taormina is a hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily. It sits near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to the summit. The town is known for the Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greco-­Roman theater still used today. Near the theater, cliffs drop to the sea forming coves with sandy beaches. A narrow stretch of sand connects to Isola Bella, a tiny island and nature reserve.
