Departure at 7:00*.

Our day trip to Etna brings us to the top of the highest volcano in Europe. Arrival at Refugio Sapienza, at 1900 meters above sea level, and free time for various hiking tours, more or less challenging, which offers the Europe’s most active volcano: ascent withoff-road vehicles up to 3000 meters above sea level, accompanied by authorized guides (duration about 2 hours), guided walking tour up to 2100 meters above sea level (duration about 2 hours), free walks to the extinct craters at 1900 meters above sea level.

In the afternoon, departure to Taormina, pearl of the Mediterranean, a small town like a flower-filled balcony hovering over the Ionian Sea that dominates the bay of Giardini Naxos. Taormina is known for its mild climate, lush vegetation, superb palaces, dreamy alleyways, elegant squares and the panoramic position at 200 meters above sea level at the foot of Monte Tauro Mountains. You will be accompanied to the Porta Messina to explore it on your own. Free time for shopping in the pedestrian zone along the Corso Umberto I, with a visit to the “superpanoramic” Ancient Roman Theatre.
