When to go to Taormina?
From its terrace of rock above the Ionian, Taormina looks straight at Etna, and the ancient theatre frames the volcano between broken columns. Corso Umberto runs the length of the town in palms, granita and shop windows. Below, Isola Bella is a scrap of green rock joined to the shore by a strip of shingle.
