Overview

With our tour we will discover the imposing Etna Volcano and Taormina, an unmissable tourist destination in eastern Sicily.
The luxuriant places, the bright colours, the scents of Zagara and the sunny landscapes, will make you discover the essence of Sicily for unforgettable moments.

We reach the slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, to climb up to the Sapienza refuge, the starting point for reaching the crater.

We continue to Taormina. Defined as the Pearl of the Mediterranean, it is a highly coveted set, chosen for many fashion, art and culture events.
Its famous Greek theatre is evidence of the passage of the Hellenistic population in the places, offers an enchanting view of Etna looking south and the Strait of Messina to the north.
Isola Bella, also a symbol of Taormina, is a delightful islet that houses the Regional Naturalistic Museum.
