Taormina On Your Own

A Stunning City with Magnificent Views of Volcano and Sea Follow your own interests in Taormina, Sicily’s scenic wonder perched on a rocky terrace with spectacular views. Drive to this seaside gem with your escort, getting an orientation along the way so you can make the most of your time. Your escort will arrange to meet you at a designated time and place at the end of your visit. Then it’s time to set out to discover Taormina on your own. Perhaps pay a visit to the Greek Theater, one of Sicily’s most famous archaeological sites and a fascinating example of ancient architecture. Or call at the splendid Arab-influenced Corvaja Palace, dating to the 15th century. You may choose to embark on a leisurely stroll along Corso Umberto, Taormina’s main street of shops and cafés, where you can order a gelato to enjoy in the Piazza IX Aprile. At the end of your excursion, return to your meeting point and begin the journey back to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
