Taormina and Castelmola
Marvel at the picturesque streets of these stunning towns, and set off on a fascinating cultural adventure to some of the most beautiful places in the world. With a distance of approximately 20km Taormina and Castelmola are the closest places to reach – you will have time to discover and admire the Ancient Theater of Taormina, the Duomo, the Belvedere and much more. Once you arrive in Castelmola a visit to the Norman fortress is a must. It is located at the highest point of the promontory, this will give rise to a spectacular panoramic view over the entire bay and the Etna Volcano.

The Godfather Tour
The first stop is Savoca, a very small town full of treasures where the Bar Vitelli will welcome you, the place where in 1971 some scenes of the famous film “The Godfather” by the American director Francis Ford Coppola were filmed, inside the bar you can find many photos that talk about the film, further on is the church of Santa Lucia where the marriage between Apollonia and Michele Corleone took place. Once back on a Vespa you will reach Forza D’agrò, also present in all 3 Godfather films where you can relive the historical scenes of the film; here you can also visit the chocolate museum.

Vesparun Etna Tour
This itinerary is dedicated to the most experienced, the most passionate and the most daring. Departuring from our base in Giardini Naxos, you will travel along the state road that will take you to Rifugio Sapienza on the slopes of the volcano at an altitude of 1910 meters – 40 km of pure beauty with unforgettable views – there you can decide whether to continue with the cable car up to an altitude of 2500 metres, or enjoy the view of all of eastern Sicily during a tasty lunch at the refuge, and then go shopping in the characteristic souvenir shops on site. Along the way you will have the opportunity to make several panoramic stops and coffee breaks.

Coast to Coast Taormina
Do you want to visit all the most beautiful beaches and bays of Taormina? Nothing is better than by VESPA. This stretch of coast, also known for its lack of car parking, will have no more secrets for you – riding your Vespa you can easily park close to the beaches and go from a dip or a boat excursion to Isola Bella, to enjoying an aperitif in the bay in the exclusive beach clubs in Giardini Naxos. Furthermore, along the coast and precisely at the bay of Mazzarò there is a cable car to go up to Taormina (where it is possible to park the Vespa), for a quick lunch and a stroll along the main street, and then off again to the beach.
