5Isola Bella

At the end of the elegant town of Taormina, Isola Bella is one of Sicily’s most beautiful and popular beach areas. This is where archeology, dining, shopping and sunbathing combine for the perfect beach getaway. In a beautiful protected sandbar, the tiny island boasts still, emerald-colored waters which are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.  

The best thing is that just up the hill, are bars, shops, and restaurants at your disposal, while the beach area is removed enough for a quiet escape. There is an Ancient Greek amphitheater in the area, and organized trips for hiking up the Mount Etna volcano can be arranged by local tour operators.
