Itinerary
- Our journey will start from Messina, a city that over the centuries has been a crossroads of peoples, commerce and cultures. After crossing the panoramic road overlooking the Strait of Messina, we will head towards the highway to reach one of the most famous pearls of the island: Taormina. Lovely and elegant city that will give us unique views and atmospheres in the world. (1h 0min)
- The first stop of our tour will be the elegant Taormina, suspended between the blue sea and the imposing Listing of Mount Etna. Elegant and panoramic, it immediately conquers for its refined and romantic atmosphere. The undisputed symbol is the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, an extraordinary example of Greco-Roman architecture (the theatre ticket is optional and is not included in the tour price). The beating heart of the city is Corso Umberto, the main street animated by elegant boutiques, historic cafes, typical restaurants and artisan shops: the ideal place to walk and breathe all the vibrancy of Taormina. A city that combines culture, beauty and pleasure of life, able to leave an indelible memory in those who visit. A few steps from the main street we will find the Taormina Public Garden, an oasis of peace with panoramic terraces and Mediterranean vegetation. (2h 0min)
- Bring your swimwear, beach towels and beach shoes because the second stop of our tour will be the beautiful Isola Bella, one of the most iconic beaches in Sicily. This small natural jewel, connected to the mainland by a thin strip of sand, is surrounded by crystal clear waters and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Here you will have time to relax and enjoy the sea. (2h 0min) Admission included
- We will conclude our tour returning to Messina, where one of the most suggestive views of the city awaits us from the Shrine of Christ the King. From here the view opens onto the Strait, offering an exciting view that encloses all the essence of this land suspended between sea and sky. We will continue towards the heart of the historic center to admire the majestic Cathedral of Messina and its famous Astronomical Clock, one of the largest and most complex in the world, symbol of the pride and rebirth of the city. After this last dive between history, landscape and tradition, we will return to the port, bringing with us images, emotions and memories of a busy day to discover the most authentic Sicily.
