Giardini Naxos, Sicily Italy

Giardini Naxos is a beach resort located along a broad bay beneath the renowned mountainside resort of Taormina on the eastern coast of Sicily. Its location is scenic, and while the small town may not be particularly sophisticated or thrilling, it's a lively spot during the tourist season, offering stunning views of Taormina and the Sicilian hills. The town also has a cultural aspect, thanks to an archaeological park. Much of what Giardini Naxos has to offer can be experienced by taking a walk along the extensive coastal road. Here, you can book a boat tour, unwind on the sand, rent a boat, take in the views, swim, or dine at one of the many restaurants with sea views. Keep an eye out for a pair of Roman granite columns that were found in the nearby sea. Most of the tourist-oriented businesses are located at the southern end of the town, where you'll find a group of hotels and the widest stretch of beach in Giardini Naxos.
