Discover Taormina, Isola Bella & Eastern Sicily

Taormina has drawn visitors for over 2,000 years. The town sits on a cliff above the Ionian Sea. Its most famous landmark is the Teatro Antico — a Greek-Roman theatre with stunning views of Mount Etna. Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street, is lined with cafés, boutiques and historic churches. The Villa Comunale gardens offer shaded terraces and panoramic views stretching from Calabria to Etna.

Isola Bella is a protected nature reserve in Mazzarò Bay. A thin sand bar connects the island to the pebble beach. The water is crystal-clear — perfect for snorkelling and kayaking. You can spot sea urchins, colourful fish and seagrass meadows. Glass-bottom boat trips run daily in summer.

Cohen House is at Via Nazionale 202 in Mazzarò. We are just 20 metres from the beach. The cable car to Taormina centre is a 5-minute walk. The ride takes only 3 minutes. Seafood restaurants and lido bars line the waterfront nearby.
