Taormina
Sicily's clifftop showcase town. Greek theatre with Mount Etna as the backdrop, the Isola Bella nature reserve below, and a corso that runs the length of the old town. The 2022 White Lotus filmed here; the prices have followed.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Same Sicilian heat-risk profile as Palermo and Catania — Catania's land-surface temperature exceeded 50°C on satellite during the 2021 Cerberus heatwave. May, June, late September, and October are the only sensible windows. Etna excursions go year-round; the snow on the summit lasts into June.
Pre-filled from New York.
