Guy de Maupassant in "La Vie errante", 1885, wrote: " if somebody might pass one day only in Sicily and asked: What should I visit? I would answer without hesitate: Taormina.

Sicily’s attractiveness comes from its tumultuous history in the hands of its serial invaders. Sicily has always attracted foreigners, either occupying tyrants or benevolent rulers and now tourists.  Modern day tourists come year round, mainly to discover the rich history, the glorious culture and breathtaking landscape, as well as to taste the healthy food and wine.

Farmecul Siciliei îşi are rădăcinile în tumultoasa sa istorie sub stăpânirea nesfârşitului şir de invadatori. Sicilia i-a atras întotdeauna pe străini, odinioară tirani care au cucerit-o sau conducători luminaţi, iar acum turişti. În zilele noastre turiştii vin să descopere istoria ei bogată, cultura grandioasă, peisajul covârşitor dar şi mâncarea sa gustoasă şi vinul excelent.

Its main portal was rebuilt in 1636 and has a Renaissance-style rosette.

O fântână în stil baroc cu un centaur (femee), simbolul oraşului, se ridică în centrul Pieţei Domului, în faţa catedralei. Biserica Sfântul Nicolae de Bari numită şi catedrala fortificată a fost construită la 1400 pe locul unei biserici mai vechi. Poarta are coloane de marmură roz. Intrarea principală a fost refăcută în anul 1636.

The clock-tower acts as an entrance gate to the part of the city that historians call "the 15th century area". Dating back to the 12th century, the tower was razed to the ground during a French invasion under Louis XIV in 1676

Isola Bella (Sicilian: Ìsula Bedda) also known as The Pearl of the Ionian Sea, is located within a small bay on the Ionian Sea; it was a private property until 1990, when it was bought by the Region of Sicily, being turned into a nature reserve, administrated by the Italian branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature. There is a narrow path that often connects the island to the mainland beach. The island has a small and rather rocky beach which is a popular destination for sunbathers.Isola Bella supranumită Perla Mării Ionice a fost proprietate privată (Ms. Trevelyan )până în anul 1990 când a fost cumpărată de stat şi transformată în rezervaţie naturală.
