• Messina - Upon disembarking from the cruise ship, one of the drivers will be ready to greet you with a sign displaying your name. The driver will guide you on a tour to explore the wonders of Messina and its historic center.
• Castelmola - Castelmola is renowned for its stunning panorama and vibrant colors, making it one of the most beautiful and picturesque villages in Italy. Its historical and artistic treasures, including the castle and medieval monuments, make it a gem in the province of Messina. The village’s name originates from the Norman fortress, which is its emblem, though only ruins remain today. The tour will commence from the historic center, characterized by its medieval features and a maze of narrow streets. Among the main stops is the famous Bar Turrisi, noted for its phallic-shaped decorations. This concept is not considered vulgar but rather a strong influence of ancient Greek culture, symbolizing freedom, fertility, and life. Here, you can savor the renowned almond wine, exquisite Sicilian cannoli, and many other local delicacies.
• Taormina - The second stop on the tour is Taormina. With its splendid location and unique natural beauty, this city is known as the Pearl of the Ionian. The establishment of this significant tourist center is linked to the arrival of Greek refugees from the nearby city of Naxos, an ancient Greek colony, in 358 BC. This origin gave rise to the name Tauromènion, which later evolved into the current name. The historic center is rich in monuments, and its natural layout makes Taormina resemble a beautiful panoramic terrace. There are numerous attractions to explore in Taormina, including the Greek Theater, a symbol of the city, offering a breathtaking view of the turquoise sea and the gulf dominated by Etna. Additionally, Corso Umberto, the vibrant heart of Taormina, invites you to wander through its many shops and charming streets and stairways adorned with Sicilian themes and symbols of the beautiful Sicily.
• Messina - After visiting Taormina, the tour will return to Messina, but before heading back to the ship at the starting point, there will be a tour of the city’s most significant attractions. You will be taken to admire the panoramic terrace of Cristo Re, offering a view of the entire city and the distinctive port. Following this, the tour will visit the Cathedral of Messina. This magnificent cathedral, with its grand facade and historic astronomical clock, is a true masterpiece of Sicilian architecture. The interior is equally captivating, housing invaluable works of art. Another must-see is the Fountain of Orion, located in Piazza Duomo. This fountain, constructed in the 16th century, is considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance sculpture in Sicily.
