We operate a tour that includes a visit to the highest active Volcano in Europe, Mt.Etna. We will drive up to a height of 1.950 mts. above sea level for a real botanical adventure, surrounded by colorful wildflowers. We will get on top of the Silvestri Craters to have a feel of what it is like on top of the Volcano. We Proceed to Taormina driving along charming Etna town.

High on Monte Tauro, dominating two grand sweeping bays below, is Sicily's best-known resort. The outstanding remains of its classical theatre, with Mount Etna as an unparalleled backdrop, arrested passing travellers when Taormina was no more than a medieval hill-village. Goethe and D.H. Lawrence are the two big names touted by the tourist office; Lawrence was so enraptured that he lived here (1920ˆ23) in a house at the top of the valley cleft behind the theatre.

Although popular with tourists over recent years, Taormina still retains much of its small-town charm. The one main traffic-free street is an unbroken line of fifteenth to nineteenth-century palazzi and small intimate piazzas, and there is a superb ruined castle and rows of flower-filled balconies. The Taormina's Greek Theatre (Teatro Greco) hewn out of the solid rock of Mt. Tauro, with spectacular views of Mt. Etna and the Ionian Sea, is itself a piece of theatre. Although it was begun by Greeks in the 3rd century BC, the present structure is almost entirely the work of 1st-century AD Romans, who rebuilt it as an amphitheatre for animals and gladiators.

Time permitting we will visit the town of Castelmola, once a Norman Fortress whose view dominates the bay of Taormina with a spectacular view. Not to be missed is a stop at Caffe San Giorgio for a glass of almond wine. Lunch (optional) is taken in Taormina at a lovely restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea.
