Taormina (UK: /ˌtɑːɔːrˈmiːnə/ TAH-or-MEE-nə,^[2] US: /-nɑː/ -⁠nah, also /taʊərˈ-/,^[3][4] Italian: [ta.orˈmiːna]; Sicilian: Taurmina) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Messina, on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. Taormina has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. Its beaches on the Ionian sea, including that of Isola Bella, are accessible via an aerial tramway built in 1992, and via highways from Messina in the north and Catania in the south. On 26–27 May 2017 Taormina hosted the 43rd G7 summit.
