The hilltop town of Taormina in the north-east of Sicily is where you\u2019ll find the White Lotus or to give its name IRL, the San Domenico Palace, which was originally a convent. But have no fear, you don\u2019t need to be the queen of Sicily to enjoy Taormina (soz Tanya, we love you really). Check out some of the filming locations we love which you can visit:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient Theatre of Taormina\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the first stops on the Di Grasso family\u2019s doomed trip to Sicily and it\u2019s an imperious old theatre. We know, you think you\u2019ve seen one amphitheatre, and you\u2019ve seen them all. We politely disagree. This one\u2019s been beautifully preserved for hundreds of years, and if you sit in the right spot, the back of the stage becomes a window to see Mount Etna looming large in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come at the right time of the year, and you can even catch a performance and do culture like it\u2019s the third century BC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bam Bar<\/span><\/h3>\n

This cute lil caf\u00e9-bar is where Valentina enjoys a quick early morning espresso before attempting to not chuck an Aperol at different guests on a daily basis. While the coffee is delicious here, we\u2019d recommend this place\u2019s staple which is granita \u2013 sorbet\u2019s cooler cousin with a crystal-like texture. Come here for breakfast and it\u2019s traditional to have it with brioche and whipped cream. And we think that chomping on one of these while looking over the gorgeous sun-themed tilework is a pretty dreamy way to start your day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bam<\/p>\n

Isola Bella<\/span><\/h3>\n

Remember that creepy story Quentin told about a little island just off the beach? It\u2019s called Isola Bella, but it\u2019s also known as the Pearl of the Ionian Sea. And boy does it live up to its name with lush green trees and old rockforms that look like they could tell a thousand stories. Unfortunately it\u2019s currently closed to the public, but get yourself on a cable car from town down to the beach, and drink in the sun or a refreshing authentic Sicilian lemonade at one of the bars on the front.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Trapani,<\/p>\n

Corso Umberto\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

We mainly see Ethan blowing off steam with an early morning run down a deserted Corso Umberto, but typically this road is brimming with locals and tourists alike browsing cute boutiques. Head to Piazza Duomo to get yourself a suitably large scoop of gelato and cast your eye over the Ionian Sea. Or if you wanted a swankier secret viewpoint, go slightly uphill to the Continental Hotel and wander up to the Sky Rooftop Bar. It\u2019s got massive White Lotus vibes, but you don\u2019t need to be a guest of the hotel to grab a drink there.<\/span><\/p>\n

So sit down, watch the sun set and sip on the appropriately named Etna Samba or a Negroni Beer Mistake (it\u2019s not an error though really, trust us)\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
