The tour will take 45 minutes to get to Taormina.
Taormina is one of the most enchanting destinations in all of Sicily, celebrated for its panoramic views, historical significance, and vibrant cultural life. This tour offers you a deep dive into the rich history and modern charm of this hilltop town. After a comfortable drive from the port of Messina along Sicily's stunning coastline, you'll arrive in Taormina, where the beauty of the town will immediately captivate you.

Your first stop will be the ancient Teatro Greco (Greek Theatre), a marvel of ancient architecture dating back to the 3rd century BC. This semi-circular theatre is set against a backdrop of the sparkling Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, offering some of the most breathtaking views in Sicily. Take your time exploring this ancient site while learning about its history as a hub for performances and Roman gladiatorial games.

From there, you’ll walk along the Corso Umberto, Taormina’s lively pedestrianized main street. Flanked by medieval buildings, this street is full of cafes, high-end shops, and artisan boutiques. Make sure to stop by the Piazza IX Aprile, a picturesque square offering more stunning views and home to the 17th-century Chiesa di San Giuseppe.

You’ll also visit the Duomo di Taormina, a 13th-century cathedral dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari. Despite its fortress-like exterior, the interior boasts beautiful altarpieces and an impressive baroque-style fountain just outside the square. Afterward, you can stroll through the Giardini della Villa Comunale, a lush public garden filled with exotic plants and impressive monuments. Relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this garden, originally created by a Scottish noblewoman in the 19th century.

Whether you're admiring ancient ruins or taking in the lively Sicilian atmosphere, this tour will leave you with lasting memories of Taormina’s splendor.
