Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Savoca, Savoca, Province of Messina, Sicily
The guide will wait for you with a sign at the exit gate of the cruise port in Messina or at your hotel if you are staying in a hotel in Messina. We can pick up also from B&B. Please specify in the booking.
From the harbor of Messina or your hotel, we will drive first on the highway and then along the coast to get to Savoca. We will stop to see the settings of a couple of scenes of the Godfather film by Francis Ford Coppola. You can enjoy a tasty granita in the same bar where Al Pacino and Robert De Niro did!
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Taormina, Taormina, Province of Messina, Sicily
Afterward, we will drive a terrific road to Taormina, often referred to as the “Pearl of Sicily.” Admire historic landmarks, such as the Porta Messina entrance and fragments of the old town walls, as well as the 10th-century Palace of Corvaja.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Corso Umberto, Taormina, Sicily Italy
The famous Corso Umberto of Taormina, the road that crosses the whole historical center of the city and frequented by many tourists every day, is closed at the ends by two gates, Porta Catania and Porta Messina. In the middle of the street, we find the door called the Clock Tower.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Ancient Theatre of Taormina, Via del Teatro Greco, 1, 98039, Taormina, Sicily Italy
Marvel at the ancient Greek Theater overlooking Taormina.
The ancient theatre is without question the most important feature for sight-seers in Taormina, also because of its very fortunate natural setting, with a splendid view toward the Calabrian coast, the Ionian coast of Sicily and the spectacular cone of Etna.
At the end of the tour, we will return back to Messina.
