Where we Visit : Taormina, Mt. Etna,

Today you will be traveling to the magnificent Mt. Etna, Europe's highest active volcano.  Believed by the ancients to be the location of the forge of Hephaestus, the god of fire, Etna has been active for the last 35,000 years and in 2013 was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site due to it's uncommon level of activity, as well as scientific and cultural importance. 

Weather and eruption conditions permitting, you will head up to the top of the volcano for stunning views across much of the island.

As well as being an incredible vantage point, the volcanic soil makes the surrounding land extremely fertile, so it's not surprising that some of Sicily's finest wines can be found here!  You'll get a chance to taste for yourselves, as you enjoy a wine tasting and lunch of local products at one of the local wineries.

In the afternoon, your driver will take you to Taormina, where you can visit the Greek Amphitheatre on your own and enjoy some free time for shopping before heading back to Siracusa.
