Meeting Point : Taormina - Porta Catania

On this tour, your English-speaking driver will escort you through the mythological side of Sicily.

You will spend time in Catania, “six times destroyed and six times reborn”, a town full of history, art and life. You will surely be raptured by the lovely blend of ancient Greek and Sicilian Baroque styles. Do not miss a visit to the Basilica of Sant’Agata and Castello Ursino.

You will then move on to the stunning Cyclops Riviera. Legend has it that the big black rocks were thrown by Cyclop Poliphemus in a desperate attempt to stop Odysseus from escaping. You will surely never forget the scenic drive leading up to the small towns of Aci Trezza, Aci Catena and Acireale.

We highly recommend you taste the delicious “granita al limone”, preferably steamed between a delicious sweet roll.

Chose this tour cause i had previously been in Sicily and did not want to spend time around Mt. Etna and similar classic destinations. Cyclops Riviera was stunning, the day went smoothly and the cost was a lot cheaper than others i found online.
