Jetskis
We will have 3 jet skis available for rent directly through the venue at your own expense.
The cost is approximately 70 euros for 30 minutes.
Getting to and from the beach!
We recommend taking a cab to the Beach Club, which is about a 10 minute drive from the main town of Taormina. There are several cab companies that operate in the area and recommend coordinating with your hotel to order one.
Alternatively, if you would like to walk,. a cable car connects the historic center of Taormina with its beach area of Mazzarò. The beach of Isola Bella is far about 500m from Mazzarò.
The cable car goes every 15 minutes. The cost is 6 euro one way or 10 euros for round trip. Tickets are not necessary to purchase in advance.
It is then about a 15-20 minute walk from the bottom of the cable car to Lido Tao Beach Club, though be mindful that it is a windy road and there are not sidewalks on the full route.
Don't worry, the ceremony will be short and sweet!
It will take place in the garden at Grand Hotel Timeo. We ask guests to arrive 15-20 minutes early to be escorted to the garden by the hotel staff for the event.
There will be a short break between the ceremony and Apritif for guests to take pictures with the bride and groom!
We will be hosting our goodbye lunch at the famous Villa Zuccaro Pizzeria in the city center of Taormina!
Please join us for one more party filled with scrumptious pizza, arancini, Aperol spritz, beer, wine, and more!
Following the pizza party, Mary and Tom will be hosting guests for a pool party at their villa!
More details coming soon!
