Taormina Bays: Half-Day Escape into Coastal Beauty
Port of Giardini Naxos, Messina, Italy
What's included
About the experience
This journey takes you through some of the most scenic and tranquil corners of eastern Sicily, where the sea sparkles and the coastline tells a story.
We begin at the Marina in Giardini Naxos, setting sail toward the bay beneath the cliffs of Taormina. This area is a snorkeler’s dream, featuring natural rock formations, sea grottos, and crystal-clear waters filled with vibrant marine life. Continuing along the coast, you’ll cruise past renowned landmarks such as Isola Bella, Atlantis Bay, the Blue Grotto, and Sant’Andrea Bay—each offering breathtaking scenery and a sense of peaceful seclusion.
We’ll anchor in one of these bays, allowing time for a refreshing swim, snorkeling, or simply soaking in the sun. After this serene coastal escape, we’ll return to the marina to conclude the tour.
This half-day experience is the ideal way to see the highlights of Taormina from a unique perspective—far from crowded beaches and tourist spots. With soft drinks, seasonal fruit, a light aperitif, and chilled Sicilian spumante on board, every detail is designed for comfort and enjoyment.
It’s a short yet rich adventure perfect for travelers who want to connect with the sea, explore at a relaxed pace, and enjoy the quieter, authentic side of Sicily’s eastern coast.
