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, on the way to Etna, one hour and a half away, and famous as the location of the largest active volcano in Europe at 3,000 metres tall.

We'll head to the Sapienza refuge, and go over the most recent eruptions of the Etna Volcano. Once there, we'll explore the main craters in the area, created by an eruption in 1892. If you like, you can climb 2500 metres using the cable car that leaves from the refuge (not included in the tour, price €30).

Then we'll head to Taormina, located seventy kilometres from Etna. In this historic city, we'll walk down Umberto street, as a guide provides insights into the history of Taormina, its main churches and monuments. Recommendations for local restaurants and ice cream shops will be provided.

After the tour, we will return to Messina on the same bus, arriving back at the original meet point.
