Consideration for overnighting: Taormina is 1/2 way up a mountain, one other way to reach it is by cable car. One day at least you will have to take the car to go up the mountain to visit Castelmola. But if you want to stay in a less stressful area and visit Taormina the other nights you can also stay by the coast and reach Taormina by funivia.
In Taormina see the Greek theater
Visit Castelmola. It is a small town just above Taormina up on the mountain. Dinner on the terrazza at Caffe' Turrisi (amazing view). Buy and/or drink Almond wine while there.
