The delightful sea, ancient history and Sicilian tradition and combined in Giardini Naxos with the pleasant liveliness of meeting places for the summer and every other season, seaside promenades and an original mix of elegant and traditional locales, ideal for a stay characterized by peace and relaxation. Among the hotels of Giardini Naxos and Taormina, the Hotel Giardino dei Greci, is perfect for both business and tourism and for experiencing the atmosphere that makes Giardini Naxos a unique place. The Bay of Naxos, with its fine, white sand beaches, framed by the picturesque Taormina promontory and magnificent Etna, is 200 meters from the hotel that, overlooking the lively seaside promenade, is in a good position among the 4-star hotels of Giardini Naxos for reaching both the beach and Taormina (the bus stop is 200 meters away), and for spending summer evenings in Giardini Naxos.
Plus, the hotel offers all its guests free shuttle service to Taormina with two daily scheduled trips: at 10:30 and 16:30.
During your vacation at a Giardini Naxos hotel, don't pass up an opportunity to visit the Archeological Park to learn about Giardini Naxos's ancient origins, and the Archeological Museum in the enchanting Bourbon fort, which holds the artifacts uncovered by excavations in the park and at underwater archeological sites. It is very pleasant to walk through the lemon and orange gardens that recall the ancient Borgo dei Giardini, as Giardini Naxos was once called.
The beautiful beaches of Giardini Naxos offer crystalline seas and modern bathing establishments, like the Naxos or the San Giovanni. Closer to the Hotel Giardino dei Greci, there are the beaches of Taormina: the beaches at Capo Taormina and Isola Bella (a nature preserve), Mazzarò and Spisone and Mazzeo are all delightful.
Less than 10 minutes by bus or car from the hotel, Taormina is an unforgettable experience: the view of the Bay of Giardini Naxos and Etna is breathtaking, the stroll along the central Corso Umberto is very pleasant and the ruins of the Greek Theater are a magnificent spectacle.
