Got off the port and grabbed a taxi that charge per person to toaminia for 3 hrs of time at taominis. (also takes 45 min to get there.) They charged us 45$ per person. Not very much time but didn’t want to risk missing the cruise. ...
We did not do an excursion here, but rather walked around on our own and had delicious food. The Santuario that overlooks the harbor and the straits of Messina is a must-do.

It’s absolutely stunning. We then went further up the mountain to ...
