Highlights
  • Isola Bella - ISOLA BELLA
    La spiaggia Isola Bella è la più famosa e fotografata non solo di Taormina, ma di tutta la Sicilia. La baia racchiusa tra Capo Taormina e Capo Sant’Andrea con incastonata al centro, come una perla preziosa, non a caso viene chiamata “La Perla del Mediterraneo”
    Ricoperto di macchia mediterranea ed essenze esotiche, l’incantevole isolotto è un rigoglioso giardino botanico,
    Le acque assumono stupefacenti colorazioni cangianti. Per il resto, invece, sono limpide e incredibilmente trasparenti, poco profonde e disseminate di scogli, ideali quindi per nuotare e fare snorkeling tra alghe e pesci di scogliera.

  • Mazzaro - BAIA DI MAZZARO’
    In soli 10 minuti da Taormina si può visitare la spiaggia di Mazzarò, situata in un’incantevole insenatura dove la natura domina il paesaggio ed il mare splende di riflessi turchini e smeraldini.
    E’ da sempre la preferita dai taorminesi, fin da quando Mazzarò era un minuscolo borgo di pescatori. Praticamente all’arrivo della funivia, delle spiagge di Taormina è considerata la più elegante, su cui si affacciano alcuni degli hotel più lussuosi della zona.
    Ma anche se non alloggiate in uno di questi resort, non perdete l’occasione di fare un tuffo nell’acqua azzurra e limpida di questa meravigliosa baia incorniciata dai promontori verdi e selvaggi di Capo Sant’Andrea e Capo Mazzarò, in cui si aprono grotte e anfratti marini che potete esplorare con maschera e pinne. Come nella vicina Isola Bella, anche qui la spiaggia è di ghiaia e sassolini e trovate sia stabilimenti balneari sia zone libere.

  • UNAHOTELS Capotaormina - CAPOTAORMINA
    Distante circa 5 km dalla grande baia di Naxos, il Capo Taormina, con il suo fondale roccioso e i suoi picchi di roccia che fuoriescono dall’acqua rappresenta uno scenario di incomparabile bellezza! La graziosa laguna riparata dal capo che sprofonda in un fondale misto pressoché sabbioso a circa 25 metri
    di profondità; dov’è possibile osservare colonie di coralli attaccati alla roccia e alcune specie di pesci che popolano queste acque. Uno scenario magico ed unico grazie alla sua incantevole posizione. Volgendo lo sguardo verso sud ammiriamo la Maestositadell’Etna, il piu alto vulcano d’Europa che sovrasta la baia di Giardini Naxos.
    La baia di Capotaormina offre ai suoi ospiti un elegante e affascinante momento.

  • Spisone - BAIA DI SPISONE
    Grossi massi che affiorano nel mare qua e là sono il tratto distintivo della spiaggia di Spisone, a nord di Taormina. Trovandosi in prossimità del casello dell’autostrada, è facilmente raggiungibile.
    La spiaggia di Spisone si trova nella baia di Taormina, popolata da molti lidi ma anche da alcuni tratti di spiaggia libera. Molto suggestivi gli isolotti di pietra che affiorono dalle acque. La sabbia è di sassolini ed il fondale vario . La parte più suggestiva è quella verso Capo Mazzarò, con rocce a strapiombo e spiaggia stretta.

  • Villagonia - BAIA DI VILLAGONIA
    Una delle spiagge più comode da raggiungere dal centro città.
    La spiaggia di Villagonia è un vero e proprio golfo naturale, costituita da roccia e ghiaia,si trova ai piedi di Taormina, vicinissima alla Stazione ferroviaria di Taormina-Giardini.
    È una delle spiagge più belle in Sicilia, per la sua sabbia bianca e il suo mare trasparente, frequentata da abitanti del posto e turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.

  • Porto baia delle sirene - BAIA DELLE SIRENE
    La baia delle sirene è una delle migliori località balneare di taormina. Poco visibile dall’esterno perché riparata da un piccolo promontorio,risulta un luogo poco affollato.
    La baia è molto simile ad un porto naturale in cui si riparano i
    pescatori locali. All’ interno è caratterizzata da un fondale molto basso e quindi molto visible, ricrea l’habitat perfetto per molte specie marine in particolare la posidonia una pianta marina
    ricca di proprieta importanti per l’ecosistema delnostro mare.
    Molto suggestivi gli isolotti di pietra che affiorono dalle acque color smeraldo, un luogo ideale per gli appassionati di snorkeling.

Great boat tour! - We really enjoyed the sunset boat tour! The small group meant we had plenty of room on the boat and our driver/guide was nice and very informative. We got to see amazing views along the coast and also learn more about the area. The aperitif consisted of sandwiches and wine, and it was delicious. The only negative was that it was hard to know if we were in the right place for pickup. There were no signs or anything, so we just waited on the beach where Google maps brought us and hoped we were in the right spot (which we were).

Considerate boat driver saved my Mum's 60th - After a Google Maps mishap sent us to the wrong beach, our very kind driver Andrea arranged to wait and pick us up at a secondary location, allowing us to enjoy our tour. And enjoy we did! From the stunning views of Isola Bella to careful navigation of caves containing orange coral and some fantastic Sicilian wine, we loved every moment of our trip. The views of Etna were unparalleled and Andrea was wonderfully knowledgeable about the local area, answering every question we had. I would recommend this trip in a heartbeat, as it exceeded our already high expectations and provided the perfect way to celebrate a milestone.

Beautiful coastal boat excursion - Andreas rang to check if we wanted to chsnge to an earlier longer trip ad the weather at sunset wasn't going to be good. We changed to 11.30 and had a fantastic trip around the coastline and wine tasting and traditional snacks were included. We stopped off in beautiful caves and two swim opportunities. The water was lovely. Snorkeling equipment was included in the trip. It was an amazing 3 hours and I would highly recommend.

What now? Tour cancelled due to rain showers - Due to bad weather, the tour was cancelled by the operator. Where can I get my money back? I was actually expecting a response. Losing 135 euros for the activity? That would be bad and a reason to give Tripadvisor a bad rating.
