Messina to Mt Etna & Taormina

[Angus3]

Hi.

We are arriving in Messina on The Carnival Vista on October 16 (a Sunday ) and were wondering if taxis are available at the port to take us to Mt Etna and then on to Taormina.

We have checked out several tour sharing companies but none have vehicles available.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi, Did you get an answer to your question? I will be there on a Sunday and was wondering the same thing.

Have you signed up on your Roll Call ? I would say your on the Vista October 11th sailing. Here is a link to the roll call http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2156371 . I would check here looking at sharing a tour with other on the cruise.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. There are taxi drivers at the gate offering tours. We would have taken one if we had another couple to join us. Maybe see if anyone on the boat wants to join you.

Alternatively we paid about 18 euros return for two of us on the train to taormina and then shared a cab up to the town for 15 euros.A lot cheaper than the cruiseline was offering!!
