Messina tours

Sicily's magnificent Ionian Coast draws visitors from all over the world. Any traveler who arrives at the port city of Messina should travel south along the scenic coastal road to Taormina, an almost perfectly preserved medieval town perched on a terraced hillside. A private Messina shore excursion with a local guide will ensure you see the Ionian Coast's most compelling sights. Taormina's most famous draw is the fabulous Teatro Greco - the most dramatically situated Greek theatre in the world. You can catch a performance in this ancient theatre that seems to hang suspended between sea and sky. Wander the winding streets of this charming town, as your guide explains the area's history, culture and art. At nearby Mt. Etna National Park, you can see the deserts of lava and alpine forests that flank Europe's largest and most active volcano. Your guide is keen to customize a private Messina shore excursion to suit your unique travel interests in this beautiful region of Italy.
