Taormina is one of the nicest and most visited places in Sicily. Taormina is a bustling small town with nice restaurants, nice shops and a lot of antiquity. In the lower part of the village there are several beautiful beaches to find. One of the most beautiful relics of Greek antiquity can be found in Taormina. Here is the ancient Greek theater in the middle of the village. This theater was built entirely according to Greek tradition with a beautiful view as a permanent setting for the actors. The volcano Mount Etna is prominently present in the background. During the domination of the Romans, the arches and the Corinthian columns were placed on the stage. The Romans also used the theater for gladiatorial battles. In ancient times, the theater had room for as many as 5,000 spectators. These were on stairs that were carved into the hill of Taormina.
