Car hire Taormina

Along the eastern coasts of Sicily stands a hillside town called Taormina. Its charming surroundings and features contributed to its reputation as one of the main tourist resorts of the island. Whether visiting during the summer or any time of the year, travellers can greatly appreciate its beauty with a convenient transportation option like cheap car hire in Taormina.

Teatro Greco is a Roman theatre that serves as a good first stop when driving around Taormina to explore its sights and sounds. The place offers spectacular views of the coastal area and Mount Etna. Naumachia (“Sea Battle”) is another major monument of Taormina that is made of bricks and stands 5 metres high and 122 metres long.

Visitors of Taormina can also appreciate the fountain located in piazza duomo for its Barocco style and mythological characters for the design. The gates of Catania and Messina can also be viewed that serve as mementos of the time when Taormina was fortified. There is also the Byzantine Madonna that is housed in the Cathedral, and the Clock Tower that serves as the entrance to the 15th century area.

Taormina offers several souvenir shops for visitors, while dining needs are complemented by restaurants serving a variety of local dishes. A speciality that should not be missed is the Spada (swordfish). Activities like fishing, wind-surfing, scuba diving, golfing, sailing, snorkelling, canoeing, and other outdoor activities can also be enjoyed.

Beyond the town are other places to see with the help of cheap car hire at Taormina. With car hire, visitors have the advantage of visiting the hilltop village of Castelmola. Otherwise, they can drive to Mount Etna and explore its surroundings and history.
