The roots of culture
Taormina dates to the 4th Century BC and one of the main attractions is the Greek Theatre. Throughout the summer it hosts many important international events and concerts by well known musical artists.
Walk through the streets of the medieval town, enjoy the view of beautiful buildings and squares such as “Piazza del Duomo” with its wonderful cathedral, San Nicola.
The beaches with their crystal clear waters are stunning. One of the must see destinations is definitely Isola Bella, a small island and nature reserve not too far from the mainland, connected to the beach by a small strip of sand.
The many excursions and activities that Taormina and Sicily offer make Crystal Sea an attractive hotel as it is situated in a strategic position, centrally located between Mount Etna, Siracusa, Ragusa and Aeolian Islands.
