Castelmola

Once in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, taste the almond wine of the famous Bar Turrisi. The characteristic of the bar is the presence of phallic shapes used as decoration. These forms are not to be designated as a symbol of vulgarity, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to Greek culture. It will be here that you can taste almond wine and delicious Sicilian cannoli

It will be possible to admire the beautiful views and the characteristic Greco-Roman Amphitheatre (the cost of admission to the theatre is not included in the price).

I will take you to admire the beautiful Isola Bella from the famous balcony of Taormina, from which it will be possible to take photos that will leave you with a unique memory of the place.
