Popular areas to consider

• Taormina City Centre: Offers easy access to shops, restaurants and attractions. It might be more expensive and noisy.
• Isola Bella: Close to the beach, a beautiful area, it tends to be more expensive and might lack some of the amenities.
• Mazzarò: A quieter area near the beach with stunning views. It might be less accessible to attractions.

Consider your priorities when choosing your accommodation. Budget travellers may find better deals in areas slightly outside the city centre, such as Giardini Naxos. Public transport links are usually excellent, allowing you to travel easily to various locations.
