What To Expect

Ancient Theatre of Taormina

One of Sicily’s most remarkable archaeological treasures, the Ancient Theatre of Taormina is a grand structure dating back to the 3rd century BCE. Originally built by the Greeks and later expanded by the Romans, it remains one of the best-preserved ancient theatres on the island. The site offers breathtaking views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea and showcases the evolution of theatrical architecture from the Hellenistic to the Roman era. Its history reflects the transformations in construction techniques and the changing nature of performances over the centuries.

Naumachia - Antico Gymnasium romano

The Naumachia of Taormina is a fascinating Roman monument dating back to the 1st–2nd century AD. Despite its name—"naumachia" meaning naval battle—it was not used for water games, but likely served as a decorative wall for a grand terrace or nymphaeum. The long brick structure features a series of arched niches, once holding statues or fountains, and is an excellent example of Roman engineering in Sicily. Tucked away in the historic center, it’s a quiet yet impressive reminder of Taormina’s ancient past.

Odeon

A small Roman theatre located near the Church of Saint Catherine, the Odeon is an important testament to Taormina’s Roman presence.

Discovered by chance in 1892, the Odeon remains a fascinating piece of the city’s urban history.These sites offer a journey through time, revealing the many cultural influences that have shaped Taormina into one of Sicily’s most enchanting destinations.
