Enjoy a half-day guided walking tour of beautiful Taormina, one of Sicily's most popular vacation spots. Once you arrive you'll board a lift that will take you from the parking area to the town gates. Have your camera handy as you amble along the streets lined with medieval mansions, Gothic ruins and charming homes adorned with flowerboxes. You'll stroll to Taormina's main thoroughfare, Corso Umberto, and among the sites you'll encounter is Palazzo Corvaja. Dating back to the 14th century, the fortress is a lively mix of Arab, Norman, and Catalan-Gothic architecture. Continue your stroll to the city's most popular attraction-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. Indulge in shopping before returning to Catania.
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. This is a popular destination so please keep in mind that Taormina may be very crowded in peak season. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.Details
