Marina d'Agro Holiday
Overlooking the enchanting bay of Taormina, Marina d'Agro is perched high on the clifftops offering stunning panoramic views across the sea below. This sleepy Sicilian village offers a peaceful retreat from some of the busier coastal areas. Just a short distance from Taormina, a stay in Marina d'Agro gives you the opportunity to sample all the charms of the area, but also to simply relax in what is a wonderfully secluded setting.
Beaches
Marino D'agro has a small shingle beach, accessed by a steep flight of steps.
Shopping
There are no shops in this resort but nearby Taormina, on the other hand, has a wonderful selection of chic boutiques and souvenir shops, mainly located on Corso Umberto 1 - the town's main street. Spend your euro on Sicilian handicrafts, particularly ceramics and handmade puppets. Products of the land, including preserves, honey, confectionery, olive oil and wine, make healthy, organic reminders of your time in Sicily.
Nightlife
Evenings in Marina D'Agro evolve around breathtaking views across the bay and a chilled glass of sweet Sicilian wine. In Taormina, enjoy an aperatif at the famous 'Wunderbar' where Liz Taylor and Richard Burton spent many an evening sipping cocktails. Nearby Giardini-Naxos boasts several sophisticated discos and elegant bars.
Local Specialities
There is a pizzeria in the resort where you can enjoy a traditional Italian meal and icy cold drinks. Taormina boasts some of the best 'pasticcerie' - pastry shops - in Europe. Wandering through the narrow streets, you'll be followed by the scent of sweet almond biscuits being freshly baked and you won't be able to resist the ricotta-filled 'cannoli' soaked in honey and encrusted with nuts.
