Rute

1. Castelmola is a small and enchanting medieval village located in the mountains above Taormina, ideal for those who wish to discover an authentic corner of Sicily. Strolling through its characteristic alleys and ancient squares, one breathes a tranquil and evocative atmosphere, far from the chaos of the most touristy locations. The village is famous above all for its breathtaking views: from the terraces of Castelmola, you can admire Taormina, the Ionian Sea, and, on the clearest days, the majestic Etna. Don't miss a visit to Piazza Sant'Antonio, the heart of the town, and the remains of the ancient castle. During the visit, it is worth stopping at the iconic Bar Turrisi, one of the village's characteristic spots, to taste the traditional almond wine, one of Castelmola's most famous specialties. A perfect place for a short hike, to take unforgettable photographs and enjoy the beauty of Sicily from above.

2. Corso Umberto is the beating heart of Taormina and its main pedestrian street. It extends for about a kilometer, connecting Porta Messina to Porta Catania, and crosses the historic center of the city. Along the route, you will find elegant historic palaces, churches, suggestive squares, boutiques, craft shops, restaurants, and characteristic cafes. Walking along Corso, you encounter some of the most famous places in Taormina, including Piazza IX Aprile, with its splendid panoramic terrace overlooking the sea and Etna, and the Clock Tower. The course still retains the charm of the most authentic Taormina today, combining history, culture, Shopping, and gastronomy in a lively and refined atmosphere.

4. The public gardens of Taormina are one of the most panoramic places in the town. The gardens are a valid alternative to the crowding of the central streets. Their paths are nestled among perfectly manicured magnolias, hibiscuses and bougainvillea bushes.

   30 min

5. Palazzo Corvaja is one of the most representative monuments of Taormina and overlooks Piazza Badia and Corso Umberto on one side and Piazza Santa Caterina on the other. Inside it houses the Sicilian Museum of Popular Art and Traditions and also the tourist information office.

About Messina

Messina, in north-east Sicily, is a port city on the Strait of Messina, facing Calabria across a narrow stretch of fast-flowing water.

Messina occupies the north-east tip of Sicily, where the strait is only a few kilometres wide and ferries cross constantly to the Italian mainland. An earthquake and tsunami in December 1908 destroyed most of the city, so its centre was rebuilt with wide streets and low buildings. The cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake and again after wartime damage, has a bell tower with a large astronomical clock whose mechanical figures move at noon.

Top-ranked sights in Messina: Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno), Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock (Orologio Astronomico), Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani (Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani).
