Highlights
As a cruise ship passenger arriving in the port of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the best option to explore and be guided to the discovery of some of the most impressive extinct craters of Mount Etna, formed during the so-called “perfect eruption” of 2002, during this incredible event, the volcano destroyed the tourist station of Piano Provenzana, which was later reconstructed in 2004. Our hike will start exactly from this area. You will be able to admire the peak of the summit craters, visible throughout the entire excursion. Take your time to stop now and then during the ascent, until you reach the Saponaria fields immediately before the button-hole system of the 2002 craters. With your hiking guide, you will discover different kinds of lava, learn about ancient eruptions, and learn interesting facts about the volcano. Please note: among our Mount Etna tours from Taormina, this is the one that requires a slightly better fitness level.

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.
