The journey starts from the port of Catania. This tour will take you to discover some of the most iconic wonders of the Sicilian east coast. We will head to two gems of the territory: Castelmola and Taormina.

The first stop of the tour is the charming medieval village of Castelmola, which stands out from a hill 500 meters above sea level. Once home to an ancient Norman castle, today it is known to host one of the most unusual bars in the world: the Bar Turrisi! Authentic Sicilian landmark, built in 1947, today it is known for its unique decor. Here we will take a break to explore the cultural significance of the iconic phallic shapes used as bar decorations, a vibrant tribute to ancient Greek culture and a symbol of freedom, fertility and abundance. It will also be the perfect opportunity to enjoy a glass of the famous almond wine, accompanied by delicious Sicilian cannoli.

The tour continues with the descent to the elegant Taormina. Crossing the historic arch of Porta Catania, we will immerse ourselves in the rich past of the city. We will explore the magnificent Greek Theatre (ticket not included), a masterpiece of ancient engineering famous for its breathtaking views of Mount Etna and the sea. We will continue to the enchanting Florence Trevelyan Public Garden, a green oasis of exotic charm that belonged to an English noblewoman, linked to the court of Queen Victoria, who fled England because of a scandal that involved her. Afterwards, walking along Corso Umberto, the main street and ancient decumanus, you will be surrounded by elegant boutiques, lively cafes, picturesque alleys and historic buildings that guard the true essence of the city. Finally, we will reach by car an exclusive panoramic point, unique to admire and photograph from above the famous Isola Bella, leaving you an unforgettable memory of our beautiful land.

After the visit to Taormina, we will return to Catania taking you back to the starting point with the hope of having given you a day full of emotions in company.
