Daily Excursions from Catania

Private tour available in English, Spanish, and Italian.

9:00 AM Departure from Catania, with hotel pickup available prior to departure. If your hotel is located in a restricted traffic zone, we will meet at the nearest “meeting point.”

Our first destination is Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe! Along the way, we will stop to photograph the house buried by lava, walk along the “Silvestri Craters” - a natural reserve in Italy - and enjoy magnificent views extending to the coast of Catania. We will pause for bathroom facilities and a possible hot drink.

Next, we'll continue our walk to the “Grotta dei Tre Livelli” for panoramic photos. You'll also enjoy a complimentary tasting of local honey, wine, and olive oil. After bidding farewell to the volcano, we'll head to Taormina, a favourite destination of European nobles and artists in the 19th century, made famous by Goethe's writings.

Taormina, known as the “terrace on the sea,” boasts the ancient Greek Theatre, home to the annual “Taormina Film Fest.” The breathtaking panorama from every angle is simply stunning. The Villa Comunale, designed by the English noblewoman Lady Florence Trevelyan, features pavilions inspired by oriental architecture, fragrant Mediterranean and exotic plants, and an unforgettable view of Mount Etna and the Gulf of Giardini-Naxos.
Corso Umberto, with its charming boutiques, has become a “temple of luxury.” Historic bars, traditional restaurants, and souvenir shops all contribute to joyful senses and experiences.

The tour lasts approximately 8 hours
