Lace up your comfortable shoes for a walking tour of two breathtaking cities. First on the agenda is the stunning hamlet of Taormina, considered Sicily's most beautiful resort. Founded by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C., the village is home to the centureis-old Palazzo Corvaja. Another famous landmark is the Greco Roman Theater. Carved out of the hillside in the 3rd century B.C., the theater boasts panoramic views of the Sicilian coastline, the mountains of southern Calabria and Mount Etna. Enjoy shopping along Corso Umberto before being whisked away to the village of Castelmola for lunch and a walking tour along its cobblestone streets. Ooh and aah over the stunning views from Piazzetta del Duomo. At the end of the day, you'll reboard your coach and return to your ship.

Special Notes:

On return in case of long queue you might be required to reach the parking area by stairs (approximately 140 steps). All sightseeing are done on foot, therefore comfortable shoes are recommended. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
