About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Monte Etna, Catania, Province of Catania, Sicily
Depart your hotel with your expert driver to begin your excursion to Mt. Etna, Europe's largest live volcano and one of the world's most active. Enjoy a pleasant drive through the countryside and mountain villages to Rifugio Sapienza, the volcano’s base station where you will see the evidence of the eruptions of 1982, 2001 and 2002. You can upgrade your experience with a guided trip to the volcano’s upper crater. Travel up by cable car to La Montagnola, at an altitude of 8250 ft where to meet the alpine licensed guide and travel by off road vehicle through the eerie lava-scape to the top of the crater, at approximately 9,500 ft (3,000 meters)
Pass By: Baia Taormina Grand Palace Hotels & Spa (Official)
After Mt. Etna visit, return back to Taormina where you'll meet your private licensed Guide to discover the romance of Taormina on a 2-hours walking tour, and stroll down typical medieval streets of this “Pearl of the Mediterranean”. Taormina really seems to be born as a tourist resort since past times, when ancient people chose it as their residential site thank to its favourable position, mild climate and magic atmosphere. Nowadays visitors can still find fine examples of Taormina’s golden times: the splendid Greek Theatre, the Roman “Naumachiae”, the 13th century Cathedral of Saint Nicolò, the 16th century Palace of the Dukes of Saint Stefano, the public gardens, the “Badia Vecchia”
