What To Expect
Messina
Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Our tour will start from Messina, the ancient "gateway to Sicily", where history and modernity, legends and traditions, resilience and beauty come together. After our meeting, along the panoramic road that runs along the port in the shape of a sickle, you will be able to admire the statue of the Madonna della Lettera, patron saint of Messina that welcomes anyone arriving from the sea. From here will begin our tour to two jewels of our territory: Castelmola and Taormina.
Castelmola
Our first stop will be the charming medieval village of Castelmola, perched on a hill overlooking the landscape! Castelmola, which was once the site of an ancient Norman castle, is now known to host one of the most particular bars in the world: the Bar Turrisi! An authentic Sicilian landmark known for its unique furnishings. Here we will take a break to explore the cultural significance of the iconic phallic shapes used as bar decorations. Far from being vulgar, they are a vivid tribute to ancient Greek culture, symbolising the very essence of freedom, fertility and life. This is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of the famous almond wine along with delicious Sicilian cannoli.

A perfect Sicilian day !

5.00We had an unforgettable day during our cruise stop in Messina. Our guide Marisa and our wonderful driver were punctual, professional, and made everything feel effortless from the start. We began with a scenic drive up to Castelmola, where the views were absolutely breathtaking, and then continued on to beautiful Taormina. After exploring Taormina, we still had time to see the highlights of Messina, which made the day feel incredibly full without ever being rushed. If you want to truly experience the best of this region in a single day, this tour is the way to go. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and seamless Sicilian experience!
Great vibes

5.00Marisa and Fulvio picked us up at the Catania cruise port and took us on a really fun adventure as we explored Catania, Taormina, and Castelmora. Marisa was funny and knowledgeable and kept us smiling and laughing all day. Fulvio safely navigated the busy roads and got us safely to each spot.
Perfect.
