On this tour, you’ll get to discover the two distinct volcanic regions, Etna and Taormina. You’ll begin your journey towards Volcano Etna and stop on the way to explore the Nicolosi village. You’ll learn about Etna’s eruption of 1669 and the resultant damage to the village.
Proceeding from Nicolosi to Rifugio Sapienza at 1900 metres above sea level, you’ll come across a lunar landscape surrounded by lateral craters, lava flows, a basalt mine and mixed native vegetation. You’ll head to Crateri Silvestri at 2000 meters above sea level to see some of the most popular lateral craters around Mt Etna from the eruption of 1892.
Finally, you’ll visit the town of Taormina and get about three hours of free time to visit attractions of your choice, such as Isola Bella, the public Botanic Garden, the Greek Theatre, churches and shops.
