Sightseeing in Sicily picture - that faced the garden & pool. Many first-time visitors who stay right in Taormina are disappointed when they discover they have to commute from their hotel to the beach (there's a cable car). That's why many stay in nearby Giardini-Naxos (Naxos garden), where they can walk to the beach from their hotels. They can then take the short local bus ride to hilltop Taormina for day trips, a much better arrangement. Please see the introductory text for a little more information about Giardini-Naxos.
