Overview

Taormina and Castelmola tour with Greek Theater will let you experience the history of one of the Sicilian Greek colonies and its astonishing ancient Theatre, used as a film set for many movies and TV series, such as the recent White Lotus Sicily show. The tour starts with a visit to Castelmola Sicily a picturesque village situated just above Taormina, the perfect place to enjoy a beautiful setting and a wonderful outlook over the magnificent bay of Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna rising in the distance. Then our journey continues with a Taormina walking tour, seeing the Aragonese-style Porta Catania and Corso Umberto, once part of the ancient Roman street Via Valeria. Enjoy a Taormina walking tour visiting the monuments of the town, as well as the most exclusive shops, restaurants, and hotels, such as the famous San Domenico Palace and the newest White Lotus Sicily location and the theatre of Taormina, the second-largest in Sicily, built by Greeks and Romans in the 3rd century BC.

A Must Book Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

We had the best time on this tour! Our tour guide, Sara, was so friendly and so knowledgeable, I could listen to her talk for hours. We loved visiting Castelmola and Taormina. We even added a quick stop to see the astronomical clock in the town square which was really cool. She gave us a great tour of Taormina and even gave us a list of places/foods that we had to try while we were in Messina. I would 10000% book another tour with Sara again!

Loved it

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful guide. Very informative. Absolutely stunning sites. One of my favorite places we visited during our entire trip of Italy. Plan to return some day!!

Maria was a terrific guide in Messina.

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guides name was Maria. My daughter and I enjoyed Maria very much. She was punctual, kind and full of information. If I ever go back to that area, I would hire her as a private guide and do some hiking with her.
