Mariagrazia was wonderful. She picked us up at our ship and kept us on schedule. She gave us interesting commentary doing our drive to Taormina. The city was spectacular. We then took a boat tour of the harbor and took a swim. The water was perfect and crystal clear.

Beautiful day and exploring of Taormina. Boat trip was lovely and we got local bisquits and glass of champagne. We also had chance to swim and see Isola Bella and Giardini Naxos and Taormina from the water. We finished tour in recommended local bar with very tasty food.

Boat trip is nice however it does not stop on the island. You get to see some nice caves. You get to swim the water was nice. Our captain was super nice. Taormina is beautiful but you would need more than a couple of hours if you want to fully enjoy and have lunch.

We saw the beautiful countryside on the drive from Port to Taormina which is about an hour. Alessandra our tour guide was amazing and we learned lots of history during the drive.. Taormina has a lot of shopping a couple of church’s, restaurants. We then took the boat tour, which I expected to be very short, but it wasn’t. It was a nice tour our boat captain enjoyed his job and made sure w head a great time. We even had time for a swim in the Ionian Sea. Alessandra and boat captain shared Italian treats with us and that was an unexpected surprise.
