Taormina and Etna: sicilian elegance and energy
Discover the beauty of Taormina on a guided tour, try a traditional arancino and walk across the craters of Mount Etna.
Syracuse
Etna, a Muntagna, is a generous yet severe mother that regenerates with its destructive power: the mountain gives and the mountain takes. Etna stands majestically in the magnificent setting of Taormina, ‘the pearl of Sicily’, which has made the island known to the whole world.
Itinerary
Departure from Syracuse’s Molo Sant’Antonio for a close-up encounter with the magnificent Mount Etna and the town of Taormina. Please arrive 15 minutes before the departure time.
We’re off to Taormina, a wonderful little town perched on a cliff, now one of the best-known tourist destinations in eastern Sicily.
To end the day with taste, during your free time, you can enjoy the arancino, symbol par excellence of the Sicilian culinary tradition.
Accompanied by a guide, the journey to discover Etna begins: the highest active volcano in Europe where, according to myth, the giant Enceladus is imprisoned, the cause of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Arriving at Rifugio Sapienza at an altitude of 1,900 metres, you can explore the volcano in complete autonomy to discover the craters and enjoy the surrounding landscape.
