Norwegian Cruise Lines has added the following shore excursion for guests who use a cane or walker.
I have already done some research and apparently the area is very beautiful.
The excursion is four hours long, no meal, and costs $319. With my discounts, it will probably cost me about $250.00
I was curious about what members of the forum think about this area of the world, the excursion and the cost.
"This excursion is for guests that use a cane/walker, have limited mobility issues Tour includes step-free routes, shorter distances and no stairs.
Explore the architectural gems throughout the Old Town of Taormina, an enticing setting with a remarkable wealth of attractions. From Piazza IX Aprile, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea and foreboding Mount Etna. The 17th-century Church of St. Joseph and an iconic clock tower overlook the square, which is renowned for its black-and-white checkered marble that resembles a giant chessboard. Piazza Duomo is another popular gathering place in the heart of Old Town. Be sure to note the statue of a minotaur on the central fountain, as it has become a symbol of Taormina. An enlightening interior visit of the cathedral behind the fountain will reveal features such as wooden beams with Arab motifs, 15th-century paintings and chapels on either side of the main altar. Not far out of town, you will pause for photos at a lookout above the beautiful Bay of Naxos.
