Kayak Taormina and Giardini Naxos with two sea caves, Isola Bella Marine Park, and Mount Etna views. Private 2.5-hour tour.
“A very nice way to get to know the island from a different perspective. It was a lot of fun, but it must be said that the tour ended quite abruptly. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to park on site. So it is best to research well in advance how to get there. For camper vans, there is a turning area for parking at the end of the promenade. From there, it is about 10 minutes by bike to the meeting point.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
