About Teatro Antico Di Taormina

Teatro Antico di Taormina, also known as Teatro Greco, is one of Sicily's most celebrated ancient theatres. Originating in classical Greek times and later rebuilt and used as a Roman theatre and arena, it remains an active performance venue hosting the Taormina Arte festival and Taormina Film Fest. The theatre's enduring charm comes from its dramatic hillside setting, panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, and a history that blends ancient architecture with modern productions. Whether you're attending a concert, dance, or a film premiere, we've got you covered with practical details to help you plan your visit.
