Ancient Theatre of Taormina

If you see only one thing in Taormina, make it the ancient Greek theatre! This crumbling structure is split into three parts: the scene, the orchestra and the auditorium. Stroll the site, from the stage to the tiered seats, and imagine what performances would have been like here thousands of years ago. From its privileged location, you can also take in some seriously swoon-worthy views of the glistening Ionian. Concerts and operas even take place here during the summer months.
