Lovely well kept gardens. Easy to find - with wonderful views to the sea and towards etna. Never busy - many benches - very clean obviously looked after and respected by visitors.A great haven on a hot day.

The Public Garden is an enjoyable place to go for a rest or a walk, look at the views of Taormina, the gardens and buildings. It wasn't crowded when we visited and was quite peaceful.

Nice walk below the main drag, including a medieval village. Along the way, there are some "off the track" shops with better prices for things like food and wine.

Nice relaxing walk with my wife. The gardens are beautiful with excellent views of the sea. It is easily walked in one hour, or you can just sit and relax and enjoy the view of the sea, and listen to the many birds.

inside a lovely garden two parrots are in prison and are the saddest thing. FREE THE TAORMINA 2. A bird in a cage has all heaven in a rage.
