Taormina Shore Excursion: Taormina and Mt Etna Day Trip

1 day
Full Day
About this activity
When your cruise ship docks in Taormina, head off on a shore excursion to see the best of the Sicilian coast. Admire the majestic Mt Etna, which was considered by the Ancient Greeks to be the realm of Vulcan -- the Italian god of fire. Unpredictable and ever changing, this mountain rises well over 6,500 feet (1,981 meters) above sea level, making it the second-highest mountain in Western Europe, after Mont Blanc in the Alps.

Next, pass through the town of Giarre before arriving at the Crateri Silvestri. Explore the strange lunar landscape and be sure to take photos of this spectacular place. Next, your driver will take you to one of Sicily’s most beautiful places – Taormina. This charming town has been a world-famous resort since the end of the 19th century. Known for its unspoiled natural beauty and climate, the inhabitants have preserved their local culture and ancient history.

Enjoy a delicious lunch (own expense) at a charming outdoor café and taste some of the local specialties. See the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, built by the Greeks during the 3rd century BC. Look out over the magnificent Bay of Naxos and Mt Etna before visiting the Palazzo Corvaja. This palace, built in the 14th and 15th centuries, is named after one of the oldest and most famous families of Taormina, who owned it from 1538 to 1945, and represents several different architectural styles: Arab, Gothic and Norman.

At the end of your day, your driver will bring you back to your ship at the Port of Taormina.

Having a private driver for the four of us was great. The van was very roomy. Antonio knew what he was talking about. I highly recommend using Viator. Antonio even brought extra jackets with him in case we got cold on Mt. Etna
