Your tour then continues to the elegant town of Taormina, where you will visit the magnificent Greek-Roman Theatre, whose spectacular ruins have inspired writers, artists, and travelers for centuries.

From the theatre you can admire magnificent panoramic views over the Strait of Messina, the Ionian Sea, and Mount Etna.

After some free time for shopping, strolling along Corso Umberto, or relaxing in one of Taormina’s charming cafés, you will be comfortably returned to your ship at the port.

This tour is carefully timed to fit your cruise ship schedule, ensuring a relaxed experience and a guaranteed return to port.
