Don't miss this park in Taormina. It is absolutely stunning - especially when things are in full bloom and when it is a nice day out. The views of the Mediterranean are gorgeous, the flowers and trees are just beautiful and abundant, and there are many park benches from which to enjoy them. If you are staying in a hotel... More

One of the hidden secrets of Taormina and well worth the short walk away from the center. These gardens have lovely flowers, cactus, palm trees (and many others) and a lovely walk way for strolling along or jogging and many benches to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful view!
