The Sicilian sun shines high in the sky when we receive an unexpected phone call. On the other end of the line, a young and cheerful voice speaks to us in perfect Spanish:
"Hola! My name is Javier, we just landed at Catania airport, and we are looking for a private car with a driver to reach Taormina. Are you available?"
We smile, knowing we can be of help. Fortunately, one of our cars is already near the airport, and within minutes, we reach the arrivals terminal. There, we meet Javier and his lifelong companion, María Pilar, two young Spaniards with radiant smiles and the excitement of those about to embark on a dream journey. We soon learn the reason for their trip: they are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary in Sicily, a land they have always dreamed of visiting together.
The Comfort of a Private Driver: Traveling Without Worries
As we load their luggage into the trunk and invite them to take a seat in our comfortable vehicle, Javier tells us:
"We thought about renting a car, but then we realized it would be stressful—narrow streets, impossible parking, and we wanted to enjoy our vacation without worries."
We nod with a smile. Traveling with a private driver (NCC) means exactly that: forgetting the stress of driving and simply enjoying every moment without thinking about logistics. We take care of everything, while they just have to relax and experience the magic of Sicily.
"And also," María Pilar adds, "we’ve read all the articles on your blog! You made us fall in love with this land even before arriving. We want to visit the most authentic places and have unique experiences!"
We exchange a pleased glance. There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing we’ve inspired someone with our stories. And so, as we head towards Taormina, our journey together begins.
From Catania to Taormina: A Journey Between the Sea and Volcanoes
The drive from Catania Airport to Taormina is an experience in itself. As we leave the city traffic behind, the landscape opens up to a breathtaking panorama: Mount Etna dominates the scene with its imposing presence, while the Ionian coast stretches out to the horizon with its crystal-clear waters.
"Wow, we never imagined it would be this beautiful!" exclaims Javier, admiring the view from the window.
"It looks like a postcard!" adds María Pilar.
As we drive along the panoramic A18 highway, we share stories about Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, and its legendary eruptions. We explain how this giant has shaped the landscape and influenced the lives of the locals for millennia.
After about 45 minutes of travel, we begin the ascent to Taormina, driving along scenic roads winding through Mediterranean vegetation. The view becomes even more enchanting until, finally, Taormina appears in all its splendor: a jewel perched on the hill, with its picturesque alleys, panoramic terraces, and the famous Greek Theater.
Taormina: A First Taste of Sicily
Upon arrival, we help Javier and María Pilar with their luggage and accompany them to the entrance of their hotel, located in the heart of the historic center.
"Welcome to Taormina! Are you ready to discover the charm of this city?" we ask enthusiastically.
"Absolutely! But first… a recommendation: where can we try a good Sicilian granita?" María Pilar asks.
We laugh and take them to one of the best pastry shops in town. As they savor their lemon granita with a warm brioche, they thank us once again for our hospitality and professionalism.
