Lying just south of Taormina, Giardini Naxos is a picturesque resort boasting a long stretch of beach, a charming fishing harbour and a smattering of delightful lemon and olive groves. Originally a Greek settlement the resort offers an attractive mix of the old and the new, from ancient Greek ruins to an array of alfresco bars and restaurants that come alive during the evening
