Giardini Naxos and Taormina – beach life and city charm in Sicily

Enjoy a week's vacation in Sicily with five nights in the beachfront Giardini Naxos and two in historic Taormina. A trip with both relaxation and experiences.

Experience both beach and city in Sicily

Sicily offers both beachside holiday life and historical environments – and this trip lets you experience both. With Giardini Naxos as your base for most of the week, there is plenty of time for swimming and relaxation before you finish in Taormina with culture, views, and small-town vibes. A comfortable journey that offers variety without feeling fragmented.

Giardini Naxos – sun, swimming, and a relaxing start to your holiday

The journey begins in the tranquil coastal town of Giardini Naxos. Here you stay close to the beach and have everything you need within reach. Enjoy swimming, restaurants, small shops, and promenades along the sea. The pace is relaxed, and the place is perfect for unwinding.

If you want to do more than just enjoy the sun, there are several excursions to choose from. Join a guided tour to Etna, take a boat along the coast, or get a taste of Taormina from here with a day trip.

Taormina – experiences in a historical environment

After five nights in Naxos, the journey continues to Taormina, which is located high up with views of both the sea and the volcano. Here you get a different type of environment – charming alleys, small squares, and historical sights.

Visit the Greek theater, take the cable car down to Isola Bella, or sit down at a café with a view of the coast. In the evening, restaurants with local food and beautiful views await. Two nights here are a nice end to the trip.

A journey with variety

This is a convenient setup for those who want to combine relaxation by the sea with a few days in a more lively and historical environment. The distance between the locations is short – just a short car or bus ride – so you avoid long transport stretches but still get to experience two different sides of Sicily.

With Sembo, it is also easy to customize your trip exactly as you want it. Do you, for example, only want to stay in Giardini Naxos and make day trips to Taormina? No problem, just adjust the travel proposal!

A package tour and a linked arrangement offer travellers different booking processes but provide the same protection under the Package Travel Act, ensuring customer rights and peace of mind during the trip.
