TAORMINA SICILY ITALY - ITALIAN IMMERSION

<<<< RETURN to main page (Taormina Italy Language vacation)

Class Schedule
Classes take place between Monday and Friday from 9:00. The additional lessons for the intensive program take place after a short break for lunch.

Please note that during the summer months, the course timetable may be adjusted and some programs may be taught in the afternoons. In such a case, the cultural activities would take place in the morning, rather than in the afternoon. Your instructors will keep you informed.

You should bring a dictionary, notebooks and colored pens. It is useful to have 2 notebooks, one for new vocabulary, and one for the exercises in class. Textbooks and other teaching materials are provided, but it is advisable to have a good system of keeping your notes together.

Activities & Excursions
Every week there are planned excursions to different tourist attractions and cultural places of interest around the area. For each excursion there is a tour guide who gives a thorough explanation of the site and a presentation to the students. Teachers give students an introduction to the site they will be visiting before the trip.

For walkers, the surroundings of Taormina are also a beautiful paradise. There are several trails leading down to the sea and up to the picturesque village of Castelmola, and to the top of the highest mountain in the area, Monte Venere, where one of the three Greek temples of Venus is rumoured to have existed.

Other activities may include, lectures, walks, films, games, seminars. Our weekly seminars cover a variety of subjects from Italian literature and poetry to Sicilian-specific subjects including history, politics, cuisine, etc.

Weekend excursions to Syracuse, volcano Mount Etna, the Eolian Islands, Catania, Piazza Armerina and Noto are available.

Booking this vacation is easy and we accept most major credit cards. We require a deposit of $300 and a completed booking form. After checking availability we normally confirm a booking within 24 hours.

Spring is the best time to come and it arrives early: the almonds blossom in February and the area around Taormina is famous for the exuberance of its spring flowers. Easter is a major celebration, a good time to see some of the more religious and traditional festivals in and around town. Temperatures stay comfortable into May and June. Taormina is renowned for its sunshine, so take light clothing from July to September.

August is the hottest month and coincides to the main Italian vacations. September cools down again making it ideal for a visit.

Temperatures rarely fall to 22°C (72°F) until end of October. On the coast, Sicilian winters are short and mild making Taormina a popular off-season haunt. However, evenings from November to March can be cool, so come with mixed clothes, including a jacket. Swimming is possible from May into November.

Required clothing: Lightweight cottons and linens are worn during the summer, except in the mountains. Light- to medium weights are worn in the south during winter, while warmer clothes are worn elsewhere.
