Isola Bella

(Pass by)

Donated in 1806 by Ferdinand I of Bourbon to Pancrazio Ciprioti mayor of Taormina, it was bought in 1890 by Florence Trevelyan who enhanced it by building a small house and planting rare precious essences. The island then inherited the lawyer. Cesare Acrosso, [1] godson adopted by Salvatore Cacciola, husband of Florence Trevelyan. In 1954 it was bought for 38,000 ₤ by the brothers Leone and Emilio Bosurgi, who built a village with 12 autonomous residences and a tiny swimming pool disguised among rocks and plantations, in order to cheer and host their friends, entrepreneurs and bankers. The Bosurgi family owned Sanderson, a historic citrus processing company in Messina. The bankruptcy of this in 1982, [2] opened the way for the sale of judicial assets of family assets which guaranteed the debts of the company with sureties. Among these assets there was also the Bella island with its villa. A first auction was therefore set for 17 October 1984 with a base of five and a half billion lire and a minimum raise of one hundred million, [3] but it went deserted. [4] Meanwhile, the institutions moved to protect the islet. On 8 October 1984 the Sicilian Region, at the request of the Municipality of Taormina, the Regional Department of Cultural Heritage declared the Isola Bella a monument of particular historical and artistic interest as an «isolated example of unicum as a naturalistic, historical value and cultural ”, subjecting it to protection constraints. The decree considered the island as a "natural monument". [5] A new auction on 6 March 1985, despite the base having been lowered by 20%, saw no buyer present. [6] In 1990 the island was finally purchased by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Sicilian Region. In 1998 a nature reserve was established, managed by the WWF, then by the Province of Messina [7] and recently passed into management at CUTGANA, [8] environmental protection center of the University of Catania. With the establishment in 2010 of the Archaeological Parks, the management, use, protection and enhancement of the Isolabella are currently the responsibility of the Archaeological Park of Naxos. Tentative List UNESCO In 2006 Isola Bella together with Taormina were entered in the UNESCO Tentative List to be recognized as a World Heritage Site. [9]

Grotta Azzurra

(Pass by)

The cave is located in the bay of the Marine Park of Isola Bella in Taormina and is so called because during the morning hours it turns bright blue, due to the effect of the sun's rays entering the cave through a crack in the rock

Taormina

(Pass by)

Taormina is a hill town on the east coast of Sicily. It is located near Mount Etna, an active volcano with trails leading to the top. The city is known for the Ancient Theater of Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theater still in operation today. Near the theatre, the cliffs that descend to the sea form coves with sandy beaches. A narrow strip of sand connects to tiny Isola Bella, which is a nature reserve. The tour offers the possibility to observe the beauty of Taormina up along the coast seen from the sea

Mazzaro

(Pass by)

Mazzarò beach has always been one of the most sought after beaches in Taormina and also the most elegant. Furthermore, right in front of the beach, there is the cable car station that conveniently connects the center of Taormina to the marine area.

A fantastic trip! Seeing the sea caves and the splendour of Taormina from the water was amazing, followed by a swim in the crystalline water and delicious Prosecco. Our skipper was lovely, really knowledgeable and funny! Special thanks to Cristina at Viator for advising me when I had transport problems.

Alexandra_G

My family and I really enjoyed this tour! The boat was comfortable, and the size of the group was not too large so we were all able to enjoy the views. Gianluca provided entertaining commentary for all of the sights along the way, and we enjoyed the snack and drinks. Overall, we thought we got a lot for our money and would recommend this tour to anyone!

SimonBaker

Great views, friendly, helpful and informative crew. Bottle of bubbly included! You can choose one of four two hours tours on a good size co.fortBle boat with shade or sunshine.

Really enjoyed this 2 hour trip. Kept me well informed of any changes. Very pleasant tour guide. Was a small group with just 2 other couples. Snacks and drinks provided. Got to see coral. I did go in swimming, water was rather cool.

Kirsten_W

This was an amazing trip. The crew were fantastic. Only downside is I wouldn’t recommend the swimming part as I got badly stung by jellyfish

Robert_K

Nando was a gregarious guide, full of information and anecdotes. Plus, he has a sense of humor, which we love. The Grotto Azzurra was breathtaking, and yes, actuallly turquoise blue - bellisima. The best part was that the tour itself was small, restricted to 6 people plus Nando. We’d do it again in a heartbeat. 💗

In general the boat trip was just average, as there was a lot of idling around and stopping. We went at very slow speed not very far, however the captain did take us as close as he could into caves, and was a very nice guy. Having gone on some of these boat trips before I would say it was only just average, which has nothing to do with the company or their efforts.

Marinna_R

We had a great time! They shared lots of fun facts as we sailed around and the music was great. Kept refilling our Prosecco and gave us time to get in the water! Will definitely return!

David_C

What a great time we had. The boat operators were so fun. Highly recommend. Highlight was diving into the sea.
