First Stop:
Set like a gem among the rocks, Castelmola is a charming village, included among the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy". You'll be amazed by its panoramic views and its authenticity.
Perched just a few kilometers from Taormina, Castelmola is an ancient hamlet that dates back to the pre-Hellenic period.
The name comes from the Sicilian "a mola", in reference to the rock on which it stands, which is similar in shape to a tooth.
You will walk along the picturesque streets, which offer a fantastic view with Mount Etna on one side and the Ionian Coast on the other.
You can visit the ruins of the Castle, the magnificent Piazza Sant'Antonio with its lava stone mosaic floor, the Piazza del Duomo with the ancient Mother Church, and the small Church of San Giorgio Padrono di Castelmola. In the streets of the center, you will see small shops selling lace work and embroidery made by the local women.
You can also make a stop at “Bar Turrisi”, a unique local bar with a phallic theme, where you can drink a good coffee and enjoy a tasting of almond wine, a typical dessert wine from Castelmola.
After visiting the small village of Castelmola, the tour will take you to the historic old town of Taormina.
Described by many as the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea", Taormina is one of the most fascinating places in Italy. Its Ancient Theater, one of the most evocative in the world, is suspended between the sky and the sea, with Mount Etna in the background to make the scenery unique. Strolling through its narrow streets, artisan shops and lush gardens is an unforgettable experience that combines relaxation and culture.
Starting from Porta Catania, along Corso Umberto, you can visit the Cathedral with its splendid view of a Baroque-style fountain called 4 Fontane, the Clock Tower, or Porta di Mezzo.
From Piazza IX Aprile you will have an enchanting panorama overlooking the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, with a splendid view of the Capo di Taormina and the bay of Giardini Naxos. Continuing along Corso Umberto towards Porta Messina, you will reach Palazzo Corvaja and the Church of Santa Caterina, which stands above the ruins of the Odeon and a Greek temple.
You can then visit the Greek Theatre (the ticket is not included in the price), one of the most important ancient sites in Sicily.
If you prefer, you will have some free time to enjoy lunch in one of the many traditional restaurants.
After the visit to Taormina, the tour will end in Messina, passing by one of the most beautiful and unique places in the city, the Cathedral of Messina, to admire the largest astronomical and astrological clock in the world.
