The Taormina City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings up the hill: where to eat one lane away from Corso Umberto, when the Greek theatre is quiet, which beach suits your day and how to reach Etna, Castelmola or the Godfather villages without an overpriced tour. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Trattoria Don Ciccio
Via Damiano Rosso, off Piazza Duomo
A side street with a slice of sea view and a chef who checks every plate himself. Order the veal meatballs cooked in lemon leaves or the house ravioli; it is calmer here than on the Corso, two minutes away. From the food guide.
Naumachia di Taormina
Via Naumachia, below the Corso
A long Roman brick wall lined with niches that once held up a water cistern, now a shady lane with a garden at its feet. No ticket, few people and the finest old brickwork in town. From the things to do guide.
Bar Vitelli
Piazza Fossia, Savoca
The bar in Savoca where Michael Corleone asked for Apollonia’s hand, barely touched since the film apart from the photos on its walls. Have a coffee on the terrace, then walk up through the quiet medieval village. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Taormina
Day one: the Greek theatre before 10:00, the old town with the things to do guide, arancini for lunch from the budget guide and a sunset drink from the nightlife guide. Day two: the cable car down to Isola Bella or Giardini Naxos with the family guide, then the bus up to Castelmola for a glass of almond wine. For a rainy or slow day, take the train to Catania or Siracusa from the beaches and day trips guide, or stay in town with Palazzo Corvaja, a long trattoria lunch and a wine bar off the Corso.
