Castelmola - a hilltop village 5km above Taormina with even better views. Several buses up (you can walk down if you have time).
Plenty of agencies offer day-trips to Mount Etna. You are not allowed to walk right to the top, but the lava flows are impressive. It is over 3000m high, so wear warm clothes - it can be cold even in summer, and the top is often covered in cloud.
