Etna and Taormina Tour

Enjoy a day filled with nature and history, on this excursion to Etna, where you'll visit the tallest active volcano in Europe, and Taormina, famous for its Roman remains.

Etna and Taormina Tour

We'll leave Messina behind on an air-conditioned bus, heading to Etna, located one and a half hours away and known for being the largest active volcano in Europe at 3,000 metres tall.

We'll stop at the Sapienza refuge to discuss the most recent eruptions of the Etna Volcano, then explore the main craters from the powerful eruption in 1892. You can optionally climb to 2,500 metres using the cable car from the refuge (not included in the tour, price €30).

Next, we will travel to Taormina, seventy kilometres from Etna. In this historic city filled with Roman ruins, we will walk down Umberto street while a guide narrates the history of Taormina, including its main churches and monuments. Recommendations for the best restaurants and ice cream shops will be provided for an authentic Sicilian culinary experience.

Finally, we will return to Messina on the same bus, arriving back at the original meeting point.
