Tour from Catania to Taormina

Departure | Catania

We depart directly from the Catania cruise terminal to take you to this wonderful city, world-renowned for its rich history, art, and natural beauty.* Once in Taormina, you’ll have the freedom to explore its enchanting historic center, with recommendations on places to visit and the option of an expert guide on request. In the afternoon, the tour continues to the bay of Giardini Naxos, where our traditional boats await for an unforgettable 2-hour excursion along the coastline of the Isola Bella marine reserve of Taormina.

During the boat tour, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the Blue Grotto, the bay of Mazzarò, and other enchanting spots included on UNESCO’s Tentative List as natural heritage of humanity, and you’ll enjoy a refined aperitif of fresh local fruit and prosecco while taking in a spectacular view of Isola Bella.

After the boat excursion, the day continues with a pleasant stroll along the Giardini Naxos waterfront, where you’ll have the chance to taste local delicacies and typical beverages. Taormina and Giardini Naxos, among the first Greek colonies in Sicily, tell a millennia-long history that captivates with monuments dating back to the 3rd century BC. Taormina, in addition to its extraordinary historical heritage, stands out for the scenic beauty it offers, giving every visitor a unique and unforgettable experience.
