bianks Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 hey CCs We are stopping at 2 ports in Sicily - SIRACUSA and PALERMO going by the maps, Siracusa looks closer to Taormina?? I’m trying to find an excursion that will take us to Taormina. Can anyone recommend? thanks in advance. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted January 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) You cannot reasonably make a day trip from Palermo to Taormina, it would take about four hours of driving time each way. Are you looking for an organized group tour, or a private tour? Edited January 27, 2023 by euro cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted January 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2023 This recent post may be helpful in regards to getting to Taormina from Siracusa: On the other hand, have you considered just staying in Siracusa? Ortygia (very near) is lovely and has some similarities to Taormina with more to see and do and not a long drive away. As well, there are Greek and Roman ruins well worth a visit -- Siracusa was a major city back in the Greco-Roman era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted January 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ortygia is absolutely lovely and well worth a visit as are the ruins in nearby Syracuse. Along with a lovely market and great food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
