A Scenic Train Journey to Taormina

#getgoing2025 Taking the train from Catania to Taormina was an unforgettable experience. The route follows the coastline, offering breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. I recommend sitting on the left side of the train for the best scenery. The journey itself was just over an hour and was both comfortable and affordable. When I arrived at Taormina-Giardini station, I took a short bus ride up to the town, perched high above the sea. Wandering through the charming streets, I was enchanted by the colorful buildings, quaint shops, and stunning views of the surrounding coastline. The highlight of my visit was the ancient Greek Theatre, where the blend of history and panoramic sea views left me speechless. For travelers, here are a few tips: wear comfortable shoes, as the streets are steep and cobblestoned. Bring a camera—the views are worth capturing at every turn. And don’t miss trying granita, a refreshing Sicilian treat, from a local café. Taormina is a perfect day trip, combining natural beauty, history, and delicious food. The journey there and back was just as memorable as the destination.
