Taormina Entertainment

It goes without saying that the Picciolo Golf Club in the typical village of Castiglione di Sicilia, only half an hour away from Taormina is well worth a visit. There is nothing like teeing off in a large forest like field, knowing that you are standing on the top of an active volcano. Watching the ships head out to Africa across the Mediterranean - blue, majestic, wonderful. Fresh air and forest greenery abound, walks are certainly stimulating. If you intend to play golf, make sure you book through your hotel - they always get the best deals and have discounted rates for guests. You don’t need to bring any equipment as all can be hired on site - balls, shoes clubs etc. English speaking tutors head the team of golf pros.

Tennis is a wonderful experience surrounded by bougainvillieas, exotic flowers and palm trees. You can play until 11pm and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants to visit after you’ve washed up. The town has a wide variety of unusually charming shops full to the brim with typical Sicilian antiquities, hand made ceramics renowned throughout Europe. Local wines, fine leather, wrought iron and wooden products also adorn shop shelves. Reading is a national past time, you can have free access to Piazza IX Aprile public library.
