The second season of the HBO award winning series 'The White Lotus' has supercharged interest in the Sicilian resort of Taormina and its environs. 

The series was principally shot in the beautiful resort San Domenico Palace, part of the Four Seasons luxury chain. The hotel is located in an ancient 14th-century convent with a stunning clifftop infinity pool, magnificent Italian gardens, and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Many scenes, chiefly those taking place at the resort's fictional beach club were shot at the nearby coastal resort town of Giardini Naxos, where the romantic Isola Bella, is also located.

The fictional setting for Harper and Daphne's girl trip in the series is Noto, which is located to the south of Taormina. Completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1693, the town is famous for its many buildings from the early 18th century, many of which are considered to be among the finest examples of Sicilian baroque style. 

Another stunning location in the series is Cefalú, where Jack and Portia's holiday love comes to a grinding stop once truth sets in. Located 70 km (43 mi) from Sicily's capital Palermo, the town is famous for its ancient cathedral and one of the most popular and beautiful beaches in the whole island.
