Taormina Cruise Port Tours
 The chic Mediterranean town of Taormina, on Sicilyâs northeast coast, is located high in the mountainsâwhich means rewarding hikes and beautiful views. For visitors arriving in the cityâs port who want to stay closer to town, Taorminaâs medieval center is thick with unique shops, historical monuments, and sidewalk cafÃ©s.
Because of the dense traffic and rather unrestrained drivers, itâs best to explore the pretty center of Taormina as part of a walking tour, or take a private tour on a Segway with a local tour guide. Explore the main sights in the historic Borgo Medievaleâincluding the Piazza del Duomo, with its pretty baroque fountain, and the former monastery of San Domenicoâand stroll through the Villa Comunale, Taorminaâs beautiful park. Spend some free time nursing a cappuccino on Corso Umberto, the pedestrian thoroughfare that winds through the townâs main shopping district. Don't miss the cityâs beautiful Teatro Greco, the outdoor theater built by the Romans in the third century BC and one of the most famous ancient theaters in Italyâa highlight of any Taormina tour.

How to Get to Taormina from the Taormina Cruise Port
Most ships offer shuttles to Taormina from Giardini Naxos. The trip takes about 20 minutes and requires guests switch to a minivan to navigate the narrower streets. Taxis are also available for hire and tend to be a fasterâif more expensiveâoption.Â
