We will celebrate this private tour with the famous Aperol Spritz in a wonderful bar that opens its terrace towards the sea and the main XI April square.
Hey there! We are Chiara, Katia, Mariarita and Sara. Enjoy this private luxury tour and discover with us the Taormina White Lotus locations!
Taormina White Lotus tour aims to be one of the most special experiences in this medieval town which had the power to preserve till today, the second largest Greek theatre in Sicily – the landmark of the area.
Taormina: Porta Catania – our starting point of the visit – will lead us immediately to Corso Umberto surrounded by ancient monuments, boutiques, exclusive shops, and luxury hotels. As the main street, it will accompany us to discover one of the most important squares of the city: “IX April” which will embrace our glance with its location and landscapes inviting us to continue our visit with a promenade that will end with the visit of the Greek-roman theatre – monument dating back to the 3rd century B.C.
Isola Bella: prepare to be amazed by the enchanted nature reserve of Isola Bella and the crystal waters of Taormina, its caves, its luxury resorts and rock formations.
As a land and sea tour, the activities included are various, always in line with the storyline of the movie and with its locations.
Walking tour discovering the Taormina White Lotus filming locations: it will be a great opportunity to discover the famous San Domenico Hotel where we will do a short stop at the entrance and then we will continue the walking along Corso Umberto – where most of the scenes were filmed, such as Ethan’s morning running till XI of April Square where we will stop for a typical Aperol spritz appetizer as the ones had by Cameron, Daphne, Harper and Ethan while in holiday in Sicily.
The boat tour: it will take us to the most beautiful bays of Taormina, from where we will be able to see closely, Hotel Capo Taormina and its unique elevator carved into the rock – where Tanya was invited by Quentin to the beach club near the pool.
Culture: besides being the White Lotus filming location, Taormina is a famous touristic destination on the Ionian coast, preserving monuments of huge historical importance such as the cathedral, a roman Odeon, a Greek-roman theatre, ancient churches, and a wonderful public garden that also can be seen in some scenes of the film.
Nature: the Isola Bella instead, situated at the base of the town, will offer a unique show with its beauty: positioned not so far from one of the most popular beaches connected to it by a small line of sand, it is the perfect place where you could stop for a swimming break.
The departure will be scheduled together as well as our meeting point and we will drive to Taormina on board a comfortable luxury car.
Once we will reach our destination, we will start our visit starting from Porta Catania, stopping at the entrance gate of San Domenico hotel, walking along Corso Umberto, and continuing to the Greek- roman theatre – the attraction visited by the Di Grasso trio in one of the episodes of the film.
Of course, we will learn the story behind the curious ceramic objects – the so-called “teste di moro”- that you will see exposed on all the balconies and inside the pottery shops of the town and why not, purchase during your free time there.
During our walking tour we will stop for a typical Aperol spritz appetizer as the ones had by Cameron, Daphne, Harper and Ethan while in holiday in Sicily.
Since Taormina means also sea, we will continue our tour on a boat after our car will take us to the small port of Giardini Naxos where we will meet the private boat that will take us to the discovery of breathless views of Mt Etna and Taormina including a stop to Isola Bella where Daphne asks Ethan to accompany her for a visit …that left doubts to most of us.
We will also get very closer to wonderful caves that hide particular legends and stories that were carried on through the centuries till our days.
