Itinerary

  1. The trip will be a fantastic experience. We will travel about 45 minutes on the highway from Messina to Taormina. (45 min)
  2. Once in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, taste the almond wine of the famous Bar Turrisi. The characteristic of the bar is the presence of phallic shapes used as decoration. These forms are not to be designated as a symbol of vulgarity, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to Greek culture. It will be here that you can taste almond wine and delicious Sicilian cannoli (1h 0min)
  3. The last stop on our tour will be Taormina where we will spend about 3 hours. It will be possible to admire the beautiful views and the characteristic Greco-Roman Amphitheatre (the cost of admission to the theatre is not included in the price). We will also be able to admire the historic centre and the characteristic Corso Umberto. I will take you to admire the beautiful Isola Bella from the famous balcony of Taormina, from which it will be possible to take photos that will leave you with a unique memory of the place. Once this is finished, we will return to Messina via the motorway for a duration of about 45 minutes by car. (3h 0min)
  4. After the stop in Taormina we will return to the ship at the meeting point of departure, but before taking you to the ship we will take you on a tour of the historic center of the city, where it will be possible to admire some of the most important attractions such as the panorama of Christ the King, the Cathedral of Messina and the very famous mechanical astronomical clock of our city. (1h 0min)
