Awaiting Your Return From Shore

Sicily is the largest of the Mediterranean islands. The east coast of Sicily is considered by many to be its most magnificent. Lovely Taormina was called "the greatest work of art and nature" by Goethe in his Italian Journey. Situated 673 feet above the Ionian Sea with Mount Etna as a spectacular backdrop, this storybook town of sculpted gardens, stately palaces and ancient monuments is easily one of Sicily’s most striking sites.
  There is much to see and do here; the main attractions in Taormina have to be seen on foot. To reach Taormina requires a six-mile drive, since the ship is anchored in the Bay of Giardini Naxos.


Pier Information.
The ship is scheduled to anchor in Giardini Bay at Naxos, six miles from Taormina. Guests will be taken ashore by tender. Taxis are generally available.

Shopping.
The best shopping in Taormina is along the Corso Umberto. Good buys include ceramics, antiques, wrought iron sculptures and embroidered linens.
Cuisine.
Traditional Sicilian specialties include seafood and dishes made with lemons, oranges, olives or almonds. For dessert, try cassata, a fruited ice cream cake. Sample some of the excellent local wines.

Other Sights
Public Gardens. Incredible vistas are available from Taormina's Public Gardens, which are filled with exotic flowers and plants.
Museo Archaeologico. In Giardini-Naxos, close to the pier, this Bourbon fort contains a fine museum. The entrance is via a garden bisected by an ancient lava flow.
Internet Connection. An Internet cafe is located on the main street, Corso Umberto, in Taormina
