The 3rd-century BC Greek theatre of Taormina is the second largest in Sicily and arguably the most spectacularly situated ancient theatre in the world, its open stage perfectly framing the smoking cone of Mount Etna and the blue Ionian Sea below in a composition that has been inspiring artists, writers, and tourists since the age of Goethe. Still used for concerts and film screenings, the theatre is Taormina's greatest treasure. Hotels near the Teatro Antico are in the heart of Taormina's medieval town, close to the main Corso Umberto shopping street.
