Private tour from Messina and Giardini Naxos to Taormina & Castelmola
Overview
Starting from the port of Messina it takes about 60 minutes to get to Castelmola.
There we will stop for about 1 hour where you can admire splendid views, the cathedral with the panorama of Etna and the famous Turrisi bar, where you can taste the famous almond wine.
On the way back we will go to Taormina, where we will stop for about 2 hours to visit the entire Corso Umberto, where there are numerous shops, the ancient Greek theatre, and the possibility of tasting typical local products, or if you prefer there will also be the possibility of extending the stop if you wish to have lunch there.
On the way back we will stop "at the balcony", where we can admire the panorama of Isola Bella and take some photos.
On the way back to Messina, we will stop at Cristo Re, where you can admire the panorama of the Strait of Messina and the Duomo cathedral with the largest astronomical clock in Europe.
If you want, we will offer you one of the typical local products such as arancini, granita or cannoli.
