Mt. Etna is one of the world's most active
volcanoes -- and one of the most beautiful
and dramatic destinations in Sicily. The 11,000-foot-high
volcano has more than 400 craters, split all
over Catania county. Your private tour of Mt.
Etna will take you through several Sicilian
towns: Santa Venerina, Zafferana and Milo,
and visit some old lava flows.
You’ll explore the beautiful towns, situated
on a rocky plateau as you head up the volcano,
you will see the vegetation transform. At 7,000
feet, you will take a walk and visit the "Silvestri" craters,
formed some 20 years ago, as well as the latest
lava flows.
During your private tour in Mt. Etna, you will visit a family-run
farm, where you can sample their homemade products
– olives, extra virgin olive oil, almond pastries,
wine, and varieties of honey ranging from orange
and strawberry to lemon and eucalyptus. You
will also visit
an acclaimed vineyard overlooking the sea and
the volcano, where you will taste some of their
local vino as well.
On the way down, you will pass through a fragrant
pine tree forest before arriving in Taormina.
You’ll have a private tour of Taormina, a beautiful town situated on
a rocky plateau of the steep Monte Tauro, which
dominates the Ionian coast, with Etna rising
majestically in the background. Downtown Taormina
represents a variety of historical periods,
from early Greek and Roman settlements, to
Byzantine and Medieval remains, up to 15th-century
Catalan buildings and 17th-century Baroque
churches. You can stroll Taormina’s main street,
Corso Umberto, with its art and designer shops,
Baroque churches and Palazzos, and get a glimpse
of the breathtaking Greek theatre facing the
sea. Your tour guide will make suggestions
where you can have an excellent meal.
