Popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina is located on the hillside overlooking the sea and with views of Mt Etna. There is a very well preserved ancient Greek Theater that still hosts performances 2000+ years since it was built.
