Overlooking the Bay of Naxos from its rocky promontory 700 feet above sea level, Taormina has been a popular destination for centuries. Explore this historic enclave on your own at your own pace on this lovely half-day adventure.
A 60-minute journey along Sicily's mountainous east coast brings you to this pedestrian village. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Mediterranean, it seamlessly balances the beauty of yesteryear with an affluent resort ambiance. Stroll through the medieval quarter and visit the remains of the Greek Theater built in the 3rd century B.C. showcasing breathtaking views of Mount Etna. For a more modern view, stroll the fashionable Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and the bustling main street of Corso Umberto, lined with boutiques and cafes. Snap photos of the Piazza del Duomo and the baroque fountain then step inside the 3rd-century cathedral. Shop for ceramic souvenirs, then meet your motorcoach at the designated time and ride back to port.
