   Among the things not to be missed while visiting Taormina, is certainly the small island located at the foot of the city, represented on every postcard of Taormina! It is possible to reach ISLAND BEAUTIFUL on foot in about 20 minutes from the top of the city (going back will be a bit tiring for the legs because of the many steps!). This beach is really amazing and definitely worth a visit, especially for the pebble beach and its crystal clear water where you can take a refreshing bath after the walk in town. If you also want to visit the interior of the villa located in the center of the island, an entrance fee of about 4 euros per person will be required, NOT included in the tour price.
