Beautiful coastal town with great beaches, food and historic sites. A good base for exploring mount Etna.

Taormina is a small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily. Taormina has been a popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm. Taormina is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian sea, besides the ancient Greek theater, it has many old churches, lively bars, fine restaurants, and antique shops. Taormina is approximately a forty-five-minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.

Have just arrived back in NZ after being away for one month... I cannot speak highly enough of your organisation very informative, very professional and met all expectations. Everything worked like clockwork and went without a hitch. I have already recommended your organisation to friends and relatives who need help in planning a European tour. Thanks again for your very impressive website and your attention to detail.

The trip was great, we really enjoyed it. The planning implemented via your site was really a key part of the trip, thank you for that. The location of all hotels was good, Verona we had a bit of a walk , but being close to the railway station was the key for us there, so no worries. Staff in all the hotels were great. The communication from RoutePerfect was excellent. So very happy overall!
