Etna and Taormina Private Tour from Catania or Syracuse

1 day
Private
About this activity
Spend the morning on Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe and wine tasting in a cellar. In the afternoon visit of the enchanting town of Taormina. You will enjoy a private tour which takes you on a discovery of two of the most stunning places in Sicily.

This tour will take place with an authorized guide, who will be keen to satisfy your every need. You will be picked-up from your accomodation in Catania or Syracuse with a private minibus - you will not share the vehicle with other people.

We will go up by minibus along "Mareneve" road until we reach Etna Nord in Piano Provenzana. During the trip we will see different types of woods that change according to altitude, in particular the Etna’s birch wood, extending only on this side (1600 m - 1760 m a.s.l.). Here we will stop to visit Grotta della Neve, a perfect example of lava tunnel, famous for its economic importance related to snow storage and sale. After visiting the cave, we will reach the path that leads to craters dating back to 1865 eruption and visit Monti Sartori, an eruptive fissure inside Birch Wood which formed the so called “bottoniera” of mounds as well as an extended lava flow. After the trip you will reach Etna Nord in Piano di Provenzana at 1820 meters a.s.l. through the new road built after the disastrous eruption of 2002. After this excursion, we will stop in Linguaglossa, where you will visit the winery and taste some etna wines.

In the afternoon we will reach the town of Taormina. You will be free to browse through its many shops offering local products and artifacts and even the most well-known fashion designer labels. The Greek Theatre is located no more than 2 minutes walk from the main entrance of Taormina.

Return to your hotel in Catania at 6:00pm or 7:00pm if you are staying in Syracuse.
