Kroosin Posted June 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi, We will be in Taormina for about 4 hours in August and I'm tinking a ride down to the beach in a cable car might be fun. Has anyone ever done that? Do we have enough time to take a dip and still see all the sights? Would there even be a place to change once we get to the ocean? Thanks.

I&MsMom Posted June 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi! We did this but we were there off-season (early December). The cable car ride was a few minutes, but at that time of the year there was no line. I expect you may find a different scenario in August. Typically, Italian beaches have "clubs": you pay a per diem, and have the ability to use their facilities, such as changing rooms, showers, lounge chairs, etc. I've no details on those in Taormina, but I assume they exist. Just know that the beach is a small, cove-like area with small pebbles instead of sand (we found some fabulous beach glass!) If you've got a Caribbean beach with white sand and palm trees in mind, you'll be disappointed. This isn't to say it isn't picturesque - in my view it is, very much so. Sorry I can't be more helpful...hopefully someone who's been there during high season will have some more specific info for you. Enjoy Taormina, it's charming!

happy1 Posted June 25, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Funivia runs every 15 minutes. Cost is 3.5 Euro. There is a changing facility and bathroom at the station where you exit for the beach. I have details posted on this board titled "Liberty Med ship and port review 5/31". Sorry, since I'm typing in this message, I can't get back to cut/paste.
