The tour starts from the pier of the port of Messina or from another point agreed with the customer. After a brief presentation of Messina through its main roads we reach the Messina/Catania motorway.
This tour gives you the best of both worlds: a combination of Taormina's historic charm and the natural beauty of Isola Bella, known as the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea." After departing from Messina, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive along the coastline, eventually arriving in Taormina, where you’ll begin your exploration.
Like the Taormina City Tour, you’ll visit iconic spots such as the Teatro Greco, where you can soak in views of Mount Etna and the coastline. You’ll then wander through the Corso Umberto, exploring the rich history and bustling atmosphere of this ancient town. Stop at local shops, enjoy a gelato, or relax at one of the many cafes in Piazza IX Aprile, where you’ll have time to take in the surroundings.
After experiencing Taormina’s cultural highlights, the tour continues with a visit to the picturesque Isola Bella. Located at the base of Taormina, this tiny island is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand. The island is a protected nature reserve, and its crystal-clear waters and rocky shores are ideal for swimming or simply taking in the natural beauty. You’ll have time to stroll along the pebbled beach, admire the Mediterranean flora, or even dip your feet in the water.
This tour perfectly balances the history and elegance of Taormina with the tranquil beauty of Isola Bella, making it ideal for travelers who want a mix of culture.
At the end of the tour we will return to Messina making a short stop at a panoramic point of Messina, where there is a monument/mausoleum with bronze statues (Sanctuary of Christ the King) and then we will stop in the cathedral of Messina, where the astronomical clock stands and largest astrological one in the world.
Each tour includes refreshing drinks, free wi-fi but above all the tasting of one of the typical specialties of Sicily, the "Cannolo".
