Giardini Naxos is a quaint coastal town located near the famous hilltop of the enchanting town of Taormina. Known for its sandy beaches and rich history. There is an Archaeological Park of Naxos. This archaeological site marks the location of the ancient Greek colony of Naxos, the first Greek settlement in Sicily (founded in 734 BC). You can explore ruins of ancient walls, temples, and houses, along with the small but fascinating Naxos Archaeological Museum, which exhibits artifacts from the ancient city. From the port, you can take boat trips along the coast (book in advance), with stunning views of the coast, exploring blue sea caves, Isolabella and views of Mount Etna in the background.
