Teatro Antico di Taormina

One of the most peaceful, harmonic and beautiful historical sites in not just Sicilia but the whole of Italia. Tickets are not cheap, but definitely worth it. Although, there are some discounts available. I would recommend to leave at least 2 hours to explore this ancient theater and to soak in all the views you can admire from various point of this complex

Fantastic theater. We have visited dozens of ancient Greek/Roman theaters and this could be our favorite. Amazing vistas. Highly recommend the guided tour for a more detailed history. It's well worth the visit.

A very beautiful place. We visited in the late afternoon, close to closing time, to avoid the crowds. The experience at the Teatro Antico di Taormina was amazing, stunning scenery and an incredible atmosphere. If you’re lucky enough to visit while Mount Etna is erupting, it becomes a truly spectacular sight to watch from a distance.

One of the most stunning ancient sites I have ever visited, with fantastic views over the Ionian Sea. We had a guided tour which I would thoroughly recommend as it was really interesting to understand a more in depth history of the site compared to the information boards on site. Our tour guide was an archaeologist and her enthusiasm for the subject was palpable. Great cafe/bar on site with great views and draft beer!

Brilliant piece of history and still in use today. Not overly priced and the views are fabulous on a good day. We spent 2 hrs going around in the late afternoon so it wasn't too busy or to the point, too hot. Take a breather and soak up all the beauty that surrounds you and watch as the stage hands prepare for the evenings musical event. So glad we did it and would recommend it to you all while here in this beautiful part of Sicily.

Really a great place to visit if you are in Taormina. It’s not expensive, it’s a bit of walking, but it’s a history lesson in real time. I was there in November, so not crowded at all. I’m sure this is more difficult when it’s hot, as there is obviously no shade in the theater. But there are a couple of benches at the top that are shaded, and a nice little cafe. It’s a short walk from the center.

Another must see place to put onto the list when visiting Sicily. Greek theatre is an atmosphere of ancient ruins with great views over the city of Taormina, Ionian sea and mount Etna. The price was €16 per adult, it was quite quiet, not overcrowded - maybe because we were there right at opening just after 9am, and it was November. But even then weather was great. Fantastic views!

At 16 Euro entry its an absolute steal. If you enjoy history and unbelievably stunning views you cannot go wrong. It is probably the most photographed spot in Sicily. Carved into a natural amphitheatre there was 5400 spectator seats. Built in the Hellenistic style in the 3rd century BC with Later Roman additions. Also referred to as the Greek theatre due to this part of Sicily at the time being a Greek colony.
