Enjoy an introduction to the real Sicily exploring the charming towns of Savoca and Forza D'Agrò with your local expert guide who so proudly call these area's
home. Starting from your port and visit Castelmola, medieval hill town above Taormina with breathtaking sea and Etna views, then drive to get to the art town of Savoca and it will be like taking a step back in time. Although recorded with its present name in 1415 the town probably dates from the first half of the 12th century when a Norman Fortress was built. Savoca is not a tourist town, it is a simple every day "local" town set on the hillside of the foothills of the S. Peloritiani. What makes it different to the other towns?

Generally ignored by historians is the fact that the two monarchs and their crusader knights sacked Messina on that occasion. Messina remained the second most important city of Sicily until the seventeenth century, when its position was challenged by Catania. There were fleeting periods when Messina's economic and political power rivaled that of Palermo. The cathedral, where Richard

To arrive in Sicily and only enjoy Taormina would be a crime. Whilst beautiful, the real Sicily is on your doorstep waiting to be discovered. We have chosen a magnificent drive along the northern coast line with wonderful roads overlooking the Ionian sea and over the Eolie's Islands.
We will stop first and visit Tyndaris, which began as a settlement back in the Bronze Age (about 1500 B.C). We will visit the amphitheatre, which was built in the 4th century BC. It has the ruins of simple temples and the so-called basilica, a fine example of Greco-Roman architecture begun in the 4th century B.C. and successively modified for use as a
