- Your tour guide will meet you in Taormina city centre, at the iconic Porta Messina Gate, a historic entrance to the ancient town. From here, your cultural walking journey begins. As we delve into the rich layers of Taormina’s history, art, and local traditions, we’ll stop to taste one of Sicily’s most iconic street foods — the arancino. These delicious fried rice balls, filled with classic ragù or local pistachio, are more than just a snack: they’re a symbol of Sicilian culinary heritage, rooted in centuries of cultural fusion. (pass by)
- Next, we’ll continue our walk through the charming alleys of Taormina, a town rich in history, architecture, and Mediterranean atmosphere. As we take in panoramic views and elegant facades, we’ll stop at a family-run wine bar with over 40 years of history. Known for its welcoming ambiance and dedication to local flavors, this spot offers a tasting of three delicious bruschettas: one with eggplants and sun-dried tomatoes, another with mozzarella and cured ham, and a third with tuna, mayonnaise, and onion — each bite telling a story of Sicily’s simple yet vibrant culinary culture. (pass by)
- After a leisurely stroll through Taormina's ancient streets, illuminated by romantic evening lights, and passing by landmarks like Palazzo Corvaja and the Roman Theatre Odeon of the 2nd century, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for this hilltop town’s rich cultural heritage, shaped by Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman influences. We'll then arrive at our third venue: a traditional restaurant. Here, you'll be treated to an "antipasto" featuring locally produced organic cheeses, cured meats, prosciutto, dried tomatoes, and the signature dish, "Pasta alla Norma", accompanied by local Sicilian wine. (pass by)
- But save room for dessert! Our final stop is Taormina's best pasticceria, a beloved local favorite, where you'll indulge in a typical Sicilian cannolo alla ricotta—crispy shell filled with sweet ricotta cream. By the end of this tour, you will have discovered Taormina not only through its flavors but also through its culture, gaining insight into the town’s rich history and culinary traditions. (pass by)
