Highlights
-
Messina - Upon disembarking from the cruise ship, Alex will be there holding a sign with your name. He will guide you on a tour to explore the wonders of Messina and its historic center. One of the main highlights is the Cathedral of Messina. This stunning cathedral, with its grand facade and historic astronomical clock, is a true gem of Sicilian architecture. The interior is equally captivating, featuring invaluable works of art.
Another must-see is the Orion Fountain, situated in Piazza Duomo. This 16th-century fountain is considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance sculpture in Sicily. - Castelmola - Upon reaching Castelmola, you can admire one of Italy’s most beautiful villages and taste the almond wine at the renowned Bar Turrisi. The bar is uniquely decorated with phallic shapes, which symbolize fertility, prosperity, and freedom in Greek culture, rather than vulgarity. Additionally, Alex will take you to savor some delicious Sicilian cannoli from the legendary Stefania Pittitti.
-
Taormina - Our final stop will be Taormina, where we will spend about 3 hours. You can enjoy the stunning views and visit the characteristic Greco-Roman Amphitheater (admission to the theater is not included in the price).
We will also explore the historic center and the charming Corso Umberto. I will take you to see the beautiful Isola Bella from Taormina’s famous balcony, where you can take photos that will create lasting memories. After this, we will return to Messina via the highway, which takes about 45 minutes by car. - Province of Messina - After our stop in Taormina, we will head back to the ship at the original meeting point.

Great day on a cruise stop in Messina - Great experience with transportation from Alessandro and Massimo. Very professional and a great trip that was loved by everyone in our group. We were picked up promptly from our cruise stop in Messina. We then visited Cantine Bonfiglio winery near Messina (this was a lovely visit, a tour of the beautiful ground and wine tasting with all of the wines delicious). We then visited Taormina which was nice too. The transportation was perfect and timely. They got us back just as promised. Thank you for he wonderful trip.

A special Experience - I took a tour of Taormina and Isola Bella and fell in love with its colors and its alleys. I really appreciated the tour with Alessandro because it allowed me to get to know this place in every detail and his kindness and his love for the place made me live a special experience
