Where should I setup a bank account in Taormina?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Taormina what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Taormina, should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially in comparison to other parts of Italy. They should also know that while English is spoken in many tourist areas, learning Italian can greatly enhance their experience and make daily life easier. Healthcare in Italy is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance. It's also important to understand that the pace of life in Taormina is slower than in many other places, which can be a big adjustment. Expats should also be prepared for the high temperatures in the summer and mild winters. They should also be aware that Taormina is a popular tourist destination, which can make the city crowded during peak tourist season. Understanding the Italian tax system is crucial as Italy has a tax treaty with many countries to avoid double taxation. Expats should also be aware of the bureaucratic nature of Italian institutions, which can make dealing with paperwork a slow process. Finally, expats should know that owning a car in Taormina is not necessary due to the compact nature of the city and the availability of public transportation. However, if they choose to own a car, they should be prepared for the challenges of driving and parking in a city with narrow, winding streets," said another expat in Taormina, Italy.
