Taormina – Full-Day Excursion from Calabria
Get ready to discover one of the most enchanting destinations in Sicily: Taormina, the pearl of the Mediterranean. The day begins with a comfortable bus ride from Tropea along the scenic Tyrrhenian coast to Villa San Giovanni, where we’ll take a short 20-minute ferry crossing to reach Messina, Sicily.
