Discover Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe (3.345 mt), and the town of Taormina that sits on the slopes of Mount Tauro on this guided tour. Enjoy plenty of free time to see the Silvestri Craters, Taormina’s Greek-Roman Theatre, and more.

Meet with staff and the rest of the group at the meeting point in Palermo, then depart to Etna. Upon arrival, enjoy free time to visit the Silvestri Craters and other sites.

Try climbing Mount Etna in two different ways:

• Ascend to 2,500 metres: From Funivia dell’Etna, ride a cable car up to 2,500 metres (at Montagnola). Upon arrival at 2,500 metres, you can walk around, hike, or enjoy a drink at the bar overlooking the area. This option has an additional cost to pay on the spot, approximately €30 per person.

• Ascend to the top from 2,500 metres up to 2,920 metres: From Montagnola at around 2,500 metres, jump on board the UNI-MOG (mini-coach WD4X4) to reach 2,800 metres with a licensed Etna guide. Then, hike to reach 2,920 metres.
This option has an additional cost to be paid on the spot of approximately €60 per person.

Afterwards, depart for Taormina, a scenic town on the slopes of Mount Tauro (204 m). This stop is not guided, so you are free to explore independently at your own pace. Visit the Greek-Roman Theatre and admire the views of Etna and Taormina Bay. Later, head back to Palermo to be dropped off.
