Shore Excursion: Mt. Etna and Taormina

When in Sicily, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the treasures of this unique island.

You’ll have the exclusive experience of climbing the ‘Etna’, the highest Volcano in Europe, along with the visit of the ancient town of Taormina, a cliffside Sicilian gem with a breathtaking view over the sea.

Starting with our professional meet and greet service from Messina port, you'll be on your way to the highest point of the island in no time. The views you will take in while traveling to the 2,700 metre summit via cable car are simply breathtaking. With the added suspense of being on Europe's most active volcano, it's a once in a lifetime experience for thrill seekers.

Upon returning to your Private driving guide, set off to one of the most magical towns in the whole of Italy. Taormina has been under control of many great reigns for centuries from the Greeks, to the Arabs, to the Ancient Romans, meaning the town has a huge historical heritage. The vocal point of the town is the well preserved Ancient Greek theatre. Your driving guide will accompany you through the site, detailing historic events that occurred here and showing you great vantage points looking out to the wonderfully blue waters below, a scene that people have been enjoying since the construction of the theatre in the third century BC. After stopping at Taormina's main square, you will have your return drive back to the port of Messina in the comfort of your private vehicle.
