Starting from the centre or the port of Catania you will be picked up by your professional driver to get to Taormina, a small but internationally renowned Sicilian town that lies just a few meters above sea level. Upon arrival, you will have time to explore the city as you like, perhaps enjoying a drink at the Wunderbar Café on Piazza IX Aprile, famous for hosting such stars as Tennessee Williams and Elizabeth Taylor.

The Center

The main street through the historic center of Taormina is called Corso Umberto. The two entrace gates, Porta Messina and Porta Catania, stand like book ends at opposite sides of the street and enclose all the authenticity and grace of this area. Take a stroll along its pedestrian path and explore the narrow side streets and eye-catching shop windows.

At the end of the tour, your driver will bring you to the drop off point youn choose in Catania.
