Messina to Taormina on your own: train vs. bus #messina #taormina #sicily #whitelotus #cruisetips
Visiting Taormina from a cruise stop in Messina? I tried both the train and bus. I took the train from Messina to Taormina-Giardini, then hiked about 30 minutes and 600 feet up to Taormina. For the return, I took the direct bus from Taormina back to Messina. Both work, but the bus is much easier since it takes you directly into Taormina.
