• Taormina - After meeting the driver within the port area, the tour begins with a visit to Taormina, located approximately 40 minutes from the Messina cruise port. The first stop is at PIAZZA BELVEDERE, a stunning terrace offering breathtaking views of the Taormina coastline, perfect for capturing panoramic photos. From here, you can admire ISOLA BELLA from above, a magnificent and enchanting UNESCO World Heritage natural reserve, connected to the Taormina coast by a narrow strip of sand.
• Corso Umberto - The tour continues to Corso Umberto in Taormina, the main street traversing the city center and a hub of interest. Along Corso Umberto, you’ll find numerous luxury boutiques, jewelers, clothing, and souvenir shops. Additionally, there are bars and restaurants, as well as significant historical landmarks such as the renowned GREEK-ROMAN THEATRE, which hosts performances and concerts by world-famous artists. PIAZZA IX APRILE, one of Taormina’s best panoramic spots, features an incredible rooftop terrace overlooking the bay and Mount ETNA, ideal for stunning photos. The charming CHURCH OF SAN GIUSEPPE, with its Baroque style, adds to the allure. At the end of Corso Umberto is the CATHEDRAL OF TAORMINA, notable for its medieval facade and Baroque-style door.
• Isola Bella - A must-see in Taormina is the small island at the city’s base, featured on every Taormina postcard! ISOLA BELLA is accessible on foot in about 20 minutes from the city’s top (the return trip involves many steps and can be tiring!). This beach is truly spectacular and worth visiting, especially for its pebble beach and crystal-clear waters, perfect for a refreshing swim after exploring the town. To visit the villa’s interior on the island, an entrance fee of approximately 4 euros per person is required, not included in the tour price.
• Castelmola - This small medieval village, considered one of Italy’s most beautiful, is also renowned for its ceramics. Located 5 kilometers from Taormina, Castelmola is a must-visit for its medieval castle ruins and charming streets. The village and castle offer some of the most scenic views of the valley and MOUNT ETNA. Be sure to try the ALMOND WINE, a local specialty.
• Campanile del Duomo di Messina - Upon returning from the Messina tour, the driver will stop at the famous Cathedral of Messina, close to the cruise port, where you can admire the impressive Bell Tower, featuring the world’s most beautiful and largest astronomical and astrological clock, providing another opportunity for stunning photos!
