Accessible Taormina and Bay of Naxos (Small Group)
Begin with a guided scenic drive along the coast from Messina to Taormina. Upon arrival in Taormina, your guide will escort you on a memorable, slow paced walking/rolling tour of the fascinating city center beginning with the lively main street, Corso Umberto. This area is peppered with historic landmarks, breathtaking architecture, little cafes and shopping opportunities. Stop at the charming Piazza IX Aprile, recognized by its beautiful, characteristic black and white paving, and take in breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea and famed Mount Etna. See the former Gothic St. Augustine's Church and the Seventeenth Century Church of St. Joseph, and the popular Bell Tower, Porta Di Mezzo. Built in the 12th century on ancient Greco-Roman foundations, the tower was destroyed by a French invasion in 1676, and renovated in 1679. Then see Piazza Duomo, home to a beautiful fountain, several charming street cafes and the glorious Duomo Taormina from the outside. Take some free time to sit outside and enjoy a gelato on your own if you desire. As you leave Taormina, your driver will take you to a viewpoint just outside the city to admire and snap beautiful panoramic photos of the Bay of Naxos.
