Experience overview
Enjoy a private adventure through Sicily on this tour of Taormina and Castelmola. Head to the tiny town of Taormina, tucked into a mountainside on the east coast of Sicily. Modern meets historical in Taormina, a chic, tourist-friendly resort town that also features medieval and ancient sites. With your free time, you can explore the town as you like. Many guests enjoy visiting the Teatro Greco, ruins of a theatre built in the 3rd century BC, as well as the Piazza del Duomo, which features a medieval Cathedral with an ornate fountain built in the 17th century. Your day trip from Messina then heads to Castelmola for a tour into the mountains, where you will find sweeping views of rumbling Mt. Etna and the stunning blue of the Gulf of Naxos. This half-day private tour of Taormina and Castelmola departs from the Messina cruise ship terminal upon your ship's arrival. This tour is available year round.
