Suspended between rocks and the Mediterranean Sea, you'll have the time of your life in this great wedding location, surrounded by an almost tropical vegetation, by  almonds, olive-groves and by the smell of oranges-trees. Orange flowers are typically carried by the brides on their wedding day in Italy as a symbol of purity.

You will lose yourselves walking  its narrow medieval streets, led by the ever-blowing wind, or discover its beautiful cafés, restaurants, elegant shops and secluded gardens. Taormina is so awe-inspiring it is not a surprise that a lot of artists of different arts chose it as a place to unwind and spend their holidays, among them the writers D.H.

Taormina boasts a number of very important monuments that may be the best background for your marriage (and your pictures too), above all the Ancient theatre, probably built by the Greeks around the middle of the third century B.C., and then completely reworked by the Romans. Even J.W. Goethe sang from Taormina the praises of this town, admiring the landscape where the Etna volcano, the Coast and the sweetest of skies all melt into one.
