Defined as "The pearl of the Ionian", it is among the most famous and picturesque places on the eastern coast of Sicily. Immersed in suggestive ancient ruins, breathtaking views and enchanting beaches. . CASTELMOLA-It is a small village defined among the most beautiful in Italy. It offers one of the most famous panoramas in the world: the view that the main square offers on the entire Ionian coast, from the bays of Taormina to Mount Etna, up to the Calabrian coasts, with fiery sunsets cheered by the characteristic almond wine, will leave you enchanted and literally enraptured by this village! . ISOLA BELLA-It is definitely the most beautiful beach in Taormina!! The pebble beach, nestled at the foot of the city, stretches out in front of the islet of the same name, colored an intense green by the rich vegetation. The island is connected to the mainland by a thin strip of sand, which disappears and reappears according to the rhythm of the tide. You can also admire Isola Bella from above from Piazza Belvedere, a fabulous terrace that overlooks the entire coast of Taormina, where you can take splendid panoramic photos! . MESSINA-One of the most beautiful and spectacular historical monuments in Messina, not to be missed, is the Sacrario di Cristo Re, a Baroque-style building with an octagonal shape and a large dome crowned by eight ribs at the base of which are eight bronze statues depicting the virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. The Sacrario houses the remains of 1288 fallen in the Second World War. On the tower is a bell made from the fusion of bronze from enemy cannons stolen during the Second World War. The bell, the third largest in Italy, is rung every evening at sunset in memory of the Fallen in war. At the end of the tour, upon returning to the port of Messina, you can make a short stop at the famous Cathedral of Messina, not far from the cruise port, where you can admire the spectacular Bell Tower with the largest and most complex astronomical and astrological clock in the world!
