Greek theatre

Cultural siteTaormina & the eastAbout 1.5 hours

A Greek theatre rebuilt by the Romans, cut into the hillside so that the stage opens onto Etna and the coast below — the setting is the reason to come rather than the ruin. Still used for summer performances. Go at opening or late; the middle of the day is very hot and very full.
