Walking
Start at the main square in Taormina, Piazza IX Aprile. From the square, head towards the staircase on the east side that leads down to Via Naumachia. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Via Teatro Greco. Turn right onto Via Teatro Greco and walk until you reach the entrance of the Greek Theatre. Before entering, turn left and follow the signs for Castelmola. Stay on this path as it gradually ascends. After about 15 minutes, you will reach a fork in the path. Take the right path that leads to Castelmola. As you continue, you will see signs indicating the direction to the village of Castelmola. Once in Castelmola, follow the main road (Via I S. Giorgio). After about 10 minutes, you will arrive at Via I S. Giorgio, where the Secret ledge is located. You may need to ask locals for the exact spot as it can be a bit hidden.
Public Transport
From Taormina, head to the bus station located near the cable car station. Take the local bus heading to Castelmola (it should say 'Castelmola' on the front). The bus ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Once you arrive in Castelmola, get off at the main stop. Walk along Via I S. Giorgio for about 5-10 minutes until you reach the Secret ledge. It’s advisable to ask locals for any specific directions to the ledge once you are in the area.
