About Giardini-Naxos

Giardini-Naxos sits on a calm Ionian bay where the sea stays swimmable for much of the year, and its harbour is the launch point for boat trips along the Taormina coast. The water here is the main event: you can anchor beside Isola Bella, slip into the Blue Grotto, or head offshore in search of dolphins. A good place to start is the Dolphin Watching in Taormina & Giardini Naxos with Aperitif Dinner, which pairs a few hours at sea with a meal on board, while the Taormina Luxury Private Boat Tour with Aperitif and Dolphins suits anyone who wants the boat to themselves.

Frequently asked questions

From the water you reach stretches of the Taormina coast that roads and paths cannot: the sea caves around Capo Taormina, the clear shallows off Isola Bella, and the bays below Mazzarò. Most trips build in a swim stop, so you are in the water rather than just looking at it, and dolphin sightings are a real possibility on the longer routes heading.
