The Greek Theatre carved in stone is probably the most famous landmark in Taormina. It was built in 3rd century BC, and it owes its appearance to the Romans who rebuilt it in 1st century AD. The aforementioned spectacular view of Etna and the Ionian Sea are best from the walls of this amphitheater. The view and acoustics are truly unbelievable. From the top of the stands you can hear conversations in the first rows.
