Highlights

The Jeep tour is a private experience up to 5 people (customers purchase one private Jeep) Discover the magic of Etna North with an exciting 4x4 Jeep excursion through lunar landscapes, recent lava flows, and ancient craters surrounded by unspoiled nature. Driving along thrilling trails aboard the Jeep, you’ll reach the side of an ancient crater which, thousands of years ago, collapsed and gave birth to a vast hilly volcanic area. Afterwards, a short trek through forest paths will take you to the vast Valle del Bove, where the most breathtaking views of Mount Etna will leave you speechless. You’ll then descend into a fascinating lava tube cave, where you’ll learn how it evolved over time. From here, the tour continues with a walk along a path to visit the Sartorius Mounts, craters formed during the 1865 eruption. You’ll return to the address provided at the time of booking, following the scenic Mareneve road, passing through charming Etna villages such as Linguaglossa and Fiumefreddo

About Taormina

Taormina is a hilltop town on Sicily's east coast, with an ancient Greek theatre facing Mount Etna, a main street of palazzi and sea views over the Ionian.

Taormina clings to the slopes of Monte Tauro, about 200 metres above the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna smoking to the south-west. Its ancient theatre, begun by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and later rebuilt by the Romans, still hosts concerts and performances, and from the upper rows Etna and the coast fill the view. The main street, Corso Umberto, runs between two town gates, past churches, palazzi and small shops, to Piazza IX Aprile, a terrace over the sea.

Top-ranked sights in Taormina: Isola Bella, Corso Umberto I, Taormina Piazza Duomo.
