Mount Etna & Taormina Excursion

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the port of Giardini Naxos. From there, we'll take a bus directly to Mount Etna, just over an hour away. We will discover the secrets of the highest active volcano in Europe, standing at 3300 meters high.

Our first stop will be at the Sapienza Refuge, where we'll learn about the last eruptions of the Etna volcano. You'll have the opportunity to take a tour of the craters created by the explosion of 1892.

Later, we will head to the city of Taormina, known for its Roman remains in an impressive theater overlooking Mount Etna. During the guided tour, you'll see the town's principal churches and monuments while learning about its history. This Sicilian village is often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Mediterranean.'

After the tour of the historic center, we'll provide free time for you to stop for a drink or continue exploring Taormina at your leisure.

At the end of the tour, we’ll return to the bus to go back to the starting point in Giardini Naxos, arriving about seven hours after the start of the excursion.
