What's included

Entrance to the Ancient Theater of Taormina
Downloadable guide of Sicily
  • Take a self-guided look around Sicily's Ancient Theater of Taormina
  • Wander the incredibly well-preserved amphitheater, which contains both Ancient Roman and Greek architecture
  • Enjoy jaw-dropping views of Mount Etna, the bay of Naxos, the Calabrian coast and the Strait of Messina

Tourists flock to the Ancient Theater of Taormina year on year. Once you see it, you'll know exactly why. Carved into the rock of the Sicilian hills, this relic of Ancient Greece and Rome is wonderfully well preserved.

These spectacular ruins are yours to explore. The horseshoe shape of the theater is consistent with Hellenic architecture, but the brickwork suggests the Romans built over the original structure. A double dose of ancient culture awaits!

Opera and theater performances are still staged in this exquisite venue, over 2,000 years since its foundations were laid. Sir Elton John has even graced its stage. (And yes, in case you were wondering, he did play I'm Still Standing.)

The amphitheater boasts stellar views of the Calabrian coast and the Ionian coast of Sicily. You can see Mount Etna on a clear day, a view that hasn't changed in over 2,300 years. Revel in your self-guided tour and transport yourself back to ancient times at this historic jewel of Sicily.

Swap your smartphone voucher for a paper ticket at the entrance.

Super easy and quick, we bought the tickets while stood by the gate watching the huge queue. We could then jump the queue and we were enjoying the beautiful views!
