Description

Taormina and Castelmola – Excursions from Port

The tour will start picking you up from Messina port.

We get the highway to Taormina, from where we will drive up to the village of Castelmola (450 mt.). Castelmola is a small and enchanting village just above Taormina, with a fantastic landscape and a great view of Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe, and the wonderful landscape of Giardini-Naxos bay. A walk to visit the most characteristic places of the village, then we move to Taormina, the ancient Greek colony with its excellent pedestrian path, the Greek theatre, the monuments, the shops, the famous restaurants, pubs, and much more.

In Messina, we will see a church with bronze statues (King Christ church) and a viewpoint that’s one of the oldest fortresses in Messina. The last stop of the excursion is the cathedral of Messina with its very particular astronomical clock (the biggest in the world).
