Live an unforgettable experience in the Pearl of the Ionian, between Giardini Naxos and Taormina, where the charm of the sea intertwines with the majesty of Etna and the thousand-year history of Sicily. Your adventure begins with departure from the port, sailing along the coast to discover spectacular views and unique historical testimonies. The first stop is the Nike of Naxos, a symbolic monument erected in 1965 to celebrate the first Greek colony in Sicily, founded in 734 BC. Inspired by the famous Nike of Samothrace, this statue embodies the eternal bond between Sicily and Hellenic culture. Continuing along the coast, you will discover the ancient walls of Naxos and the Santa Venera River, once a natural border and source of life for the Greek colony. The landscape tells a thousand-year-old geological story: the coast of Capo Schisò is the result of an impressive lava flow that occurred about 3500-3600 years ago, which today hosts the Archaeological Park of Naxos. The route continues towards Taormina seen from the sea, with its spectacular cliffs and crystal clear waters. Here, the guide will reveal anecdotes and curiosities about the iconic places of the second season of The White Lotus, including the San Domenico Palace, now part of the prestigious Four Seasons group. This former Dominican monastery of the 14th century dominates the coast with its timeless charm, offering unforgettable views.
