    Highlights Of Taormina

    Explore medieval Taormina's atmospheric streets, Greek theater, and landmarks. Enjoy panoramic tour of Messina and shop along Corso Umberto. more...

    Delight in the medieval character of Taormina while strolling its atmospheric streets and admiring landmarks such the Greek theater from the 2nd century. After departing from the pier, you will have a short panoramic tour of Messina. Continuing along the coast to the south, you will approach Taormina, an ancient city that rises almost perpendicularly from the sea. It’s a beautiful setting with an alluring medieval character, as you will discover while navigating its narrow, cobbled streets. As French author Guy de Maupassant wrote of his stay in 1883, “Were a man to pass a single day in Sicily and ask, ‘What must one see?’ I would answer him without hesitation, Taormina.” Among the highlights are the Arabian-influenced Palazzo Corvaja and the ruins of a 2nd-century Greek theater. It sits on a seaside hilltop with a view of Mount Etna that is so inspiring that it can detract from the entertainers that still perform there in the summer. After visiting, you will enjoy free time to wander about the areas that interest you the most. You might take in the views from the fragrant public garden or shop along boutique-lined Corso Umberto. The most popular merchandise includes designer fashions, jewelry and colorful ceramic pine cones, a Sicilian symbol of hospitality.

    Plant a tree in Tivat's Big City Park, explore Porto Montenegro and Solila Reserve for birdwatching before enjoying a stroll through Old Town Kotor. more...

    Enjoy the serenity of several natural settings, including the Big City Park in Tivat, where you will plant a tree that will benefit the Earth for years to come. The urban park is a green oasis full of indigenous and exotic plants that include eucalyptuses, magnolias, Chilean firs and unusual herbs. By planting a small tree on the grounds, you will add to the botanical diversity and perhaps most important help the environment, as trees absorb harmful carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air. A bit of free time in Porto Montenegro will follow, after which you will wander through Solila Reserve on the Bay of Tivat. Although salt was once produced in the pools along the shore, birdwatching is now the main activity in the protected wildlife reserve. Keep an eye out for auks, ibises and curlews. A leisurely and informative walk through Old Town Kotor will perfectly complement the experience.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Plant a tree in a park known for its botanical diversity.
    • Meander about a protected bayside reserve that supports abundant birdlife.
    • Enjoy free time in architecturally important Porto Montenegro and Old Town Kotor.

    Speed through Boka Bay on a speedboat ride with stops to relax and refresh at Blue Cave and Rose Beach. Enjoy the wild landscapes and enchanting swim. more...

    Race through Boka Bay in a speedboat and enjoy a refreshing swim in the Blue Cave and in the sparkling waters that rim a nearby beach. Although officially known as the Bay of Kotor, Boka – as it is called locally – is considered the southernmost fjord in Europe because of its wild landscape and precipitous cliffs that plummet into the sea. Zipping along its rocky coast in a speedboat will be an exhilarating experience, especially on the approach to the Blue Cave. Expect to be awed by the brilliant blue water and the hue that it casts on the cave’s interior, both the result of the way the sunlight reflects off the sandy bottom of the sea. You will have the opportunity to swim in this enchanting setting before zipping off to Rose Beach on the tip of the Lustica Peninsula. Sheltered by the surrounding mountains and forests, the water there is typically calm.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Zip through the typically calm waters of Boka Bay on a speedboat.
    • Swim in a seaside cave known for its brilliant blue water, which reflects on the interior.
    • Pause for a swim at Rose Beach, yet another idyllic spot on the bay.

    Discover Gijon's history from Roman port to neoclassical church. Explore Universidad Laboral's transformation from orphanage to cultural hub. more...

    Enjoy an introduction to Gijon’s historical landmarks and stop for photos at its most scenic lookout and extraordinary university complex. Arrive at Mirador de la Providencia, a hilltop lookout that juts towards the sea. From here, enjoy a bird’s-eye view of Gijon and the Cantabrian coastline. This elevated perspective provides an excellent introduction to the landmarks that lie ahead.


    Once an ancient Roman port, Gijon still boasts several reminders of the past. The neighborhood of Cimadevilla is of historical importance as it is in the oldest part of the city, on a peninsula that protrudes into the bay. Its cobblestone streets are narrow and labyrinthine, the houses tall and colorful, and many residents still earn their living by fishing. Several downtown churches also offer a glimpse into Gijon’s past, including the 18th-century Collegiate Church. Its neoclassical architecture is not only visually beautiful, but also lends wonderful acoustics to some of the spaces inside, which are used for concerts. Standing next to the bay and beach, it offers a perfect photo opportunity.


    Just outside of town is the sprawling Universidad Laboral, where you’ll pause for photos in the main square. Originally designed as an orphanage for miners’ children, the complex of buildings later became a technical school and then expanded to include a theater, music conservatory and church.
