Highlights
If you are planning your next holiday in Taormina and want an unforgettable adventure, there is nothing better than an excursion to Mount Etna, one of the most exciting natural experiences that this beautiful island has to offer. A few steps from Giardini Naxos and Taormina, Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, with its 3,300 meters high, dominates the eastern coast of Sicily. Its summit offers breathtaking views, guiding those who undertake the journey through the landscape that joins the Ionian Sea to the Sicilian hinterland. On this unmissable tour, we will explore the most suggestive views of the volcano, crossing lush forests, vast fields of lava flows and fascinating volcanic caves, where we will enter equipped with helmets and torches to discover their history and formation. Among all the excursions to Mount Etna from Taormina, this is ideal for families, couples and groups of friends who want to live a unique and exciting adventure.

About Catania
Catania, on Sicily's east coast, is a black lava-stone city beneath Mount Etna, with a noisy fish market, Baroque squares and a long seafront.
Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, the active volcano whose lava reached the city in 1669, and an earthquake in 1693 flattened it. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the Baroque style, it uses black lava stone for walls and paving, set against white limestone. The Piazza del Duomo has an elephant of lava stone carrying an obelisk, the cathedral of Sant'Agata, and a fountain.
Top-ranked sights in Catania: Piazza Duomo, Via Crociferi (Via dei Crociferi) , Gambino Winery (Vini Gambino).
