After arriving in Mount Etna, you'll have the freedom to explore the lava fields and possible crater hikes before continuing on to Taormina, where you can see the Greek theatre and enjoy sea views, all at your leisure. Meanwhile your driver will wait for you near by, ensuring an stress-free return trip.
At 3329 meters high, Mt. Etna is the largest mountain south of the Alps, not to mention the largest volcano in Europe, and one of the most active in the world. While the near constant activity has devastated the surrounding settlements over the centuries, it’s also created fertile, soil in which vineyards and orchards thrive. The mountain is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its surreal and varied landscape, and the invaluable scientific information it provides. Nature lovers can experience otherworldly deserts of black lava, beech wood forests, lush vineyards, or snow-capped peaks. Get just close enough to marvel at this natural wonder, or hop aboard the funicular (around 16.00€ p.p) to ride partway up the slope. Those with hiking ambitions should add more time to their stop to explore the network of trails and waystations, where you’ll be treated to the volcano’s amazing landscape as well as spectacular views of Sicily and the Mediterranean. Please inform your driver what you’d like to do on your visit. Sometimes it’s even possible to see lava flowing! Please note: the mountain’s altitude makes it quite cold, and as it’s still active, access will sometimes be closed off for public safety.

停留:3 小时 - 不包含入场费
Established by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC, Taormina was their first colony on the island. While it remained an important settlements from ancient times through the Middle Ages, it lost relevance until Johann Wolfgang Goethe described it in his 1816 travelogue, and transformed it into a destination for 19th century creatives and intellectuals like Oscar Wilde, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Richard Wagner. Today, visitors will find reminders of the town’s rich history, from the Ancient Theatre and the many artefacts preserved in the Antiquarium, to Lady Florence Trevelyan’s hill-top gardens and exoticist buildings. Scattered through the town are charming squares, each crowned by their own monumental landmark, ranging from medieval churches, to the Gothic and Moorish Palazzo Corvaia. And with its splendid panoramic views, be sure to take some time to appreciate Sicily’s stunning beauty - preferably while enjoying some of its excellent cuisine.
