Excursion Description

Perched high on Mt. Tauro, medieval Taormina offers you not only one of the most beautiful views in the world, but many opportunities to discover its history within its many cobbled streets.

On this wonderful excursion you will:

Journey for one hour to Taormina while traveling through Messina, passing the famous astronomical clock at the Piazza Duomo and along Corso Cavour.
Upon arrival in Taormina you may start your individual walking tour.
Become enraptured with Taormina’s charming atmosphere as you enjoy your free time exploring the endless winding medieval streets and tiny passages, each holding its own secret.
Enjoy the cafes, ice cream parlors and numerous quaint shops along “Corso Umberto”, Taormina pedestrian main street.
Maybe pass by the Palazzo Corvaja with its classical double windows, or the impressive Greek Theatre, built by the Greeks in the 3rd century B.C., and later restructured by the Romans.

NOTE: You will have about 4 hours of free time at your disposal for the visit of Taormina. There is a lot of walking on uneven ground and uphill roads. Comfortable shoes recommended.
