Itinerary
One
Pozzallo, Mount Etna and Taormina
Our
excursion takes the eastern route passing Noto, Syracusa and Catania en
route before arriving to Taormina.
Taormina is
a peaceful small medieval town,
built on a mountain side and located 2006m above sea level. Here you will
have free time to enjoy the quaint streets lined with curiosity shops,
boutiques and local tavernas. The Greek Theatre is also worth visiting
even if it just to enjoy the views from the unique location. You will also
have ample time for lunch before we depart (lunch is not included).
The tour then departs for
Europe's most active volcano, Mount Etna.
The
drive up the Mount Etna mountain slopes takes us through picturesque
villages and an ever changing landscape. The lower slopes of the volcano
are extremely fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and other
Mediterranean flora and of course vines which produce Sicily's best wines.
We go through forests of chestnut trees which gradually give way to oak,
beech, birch and pine. During our tour of Mount Etna we visit the
Sylvester Craters.
Our
return takes us across the Iblei Mountain Range and over two of the most
spectacular bridges in Europe, with a wonderful view of the baroque city
of Modica. |

in the city centre and the popular "Il Corso". Modica once so important as
to constitute a kingdom within the kingdom, is today a prosperous town
still dependent on its traditional agricultural economy. The beautiful
flight of steps leading to the main entrance and the statues representing
the twelve apostles are the main features of S. Pietro's church. The main
