WHY TAORMINA & SICILY
A clifftop town between Etna and the sea, and the most glamorous hotels in the south.
Taormina hangs above the Ionian with Etna smoking in the background and a Greek theatre that still hosts concerts. Our stays are the clifftop grand hotels and the beach resorts below, with the volcano and baroque Noto for days out.
