Embark on an unforgettable journey from Catania to explore three of Sicily’s most enchanting locations, each steeped in history, culture, and breathtaking beauty.
Your adventure begins in Giardini Naxos, a charming seaside village and the first Greek colony in Sicily, founded in 734 BC. Stroll along the picturesque promenade, feel the sea breeze, and immerse yourself in the echoes of ancient history that still linger in this idyllic town.
Next, ascend to the hilltop gem of Castelmola, a quaint village where history and charm blend seamlessly. Wander through the atmospheric streets, explore the ruins of the Norman walls, and visit Piazza Duomo, home to a stunning church rebuilt in the 1930s on the original cathedral dedicated to St. Nicholas of Bari.
You’ll enjoy a spectacular view of the Isola Bella Nature Reserve from above, often called the "pearl of the Ionian Sea". Marvel at the dazzling panorama of the bay as the characters of The White Lotus, featuring the famous Grotta Azzurra, Capo Taormina, and the imposing cliffs of Capo Sant’Andrea's promontory.
Your final stop is the world-renowned Taormina, where you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll along Corso Umberto, lined with elegant boutiques and quaint craft stores, and take in some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Admire the grandeur of Palazzo Corvaja, the ancient Greek Theatre, the mysterious Badia Vecchia, and the majestic Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano.
