[Taormina, Italy] Greek Theater (Ancient Theater of Taormina)

#FreeHotelStay What's amazing about the Greek Theatre in Taormina is that it's designed to take in the scenery behind the stage, so if you sit on the high seats at the back, you can see Mt. Etna or the sea and the town of Naxos. It's amazing that the sea can be a stage set! Taormina's Greek Theatre (Ancient Theatre of Taormina), the second largest in Sicily after Syracuse, was built in the 3rd century BC. It is said that the stone was cut into a mortar shape from the slope of the rocks. The Taormina Art Festival is held every year from May to September, and the theatre is used as a venue for events such as film festivals, concerts, operas, and fashion shows.
