Taormina and Mount Etna from Cefalù

3.9/5
13 reviews

Set off from Cefalù on a full-day excursion to two of Sicily's most renowned destinations – Mount Etna and Taormina. It's a day of contrasts as you walk among the iconic slopes of Etna and then wind your way through the charming streets of Taormina, which was made even more popular in recent years as the setting for hit TV show, The White Lotus.

At Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, you'll discover a dramatic volcanic landscape shaped by lava flows, with striking contrasts of black and red terrain. There's the opportunity to reach heights of up to 2,900 metres above sea level, offering impressive views across the surrounding area.

The tour then continues to Taormina, a picturesque hilltop town known for its winding medieval streets, boutiques and cafés. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the historic centre and admire the famous Greek Theatre, spectacularly positioned above the coastline with views over the Ionian Sea.

    A really great experience. Although a lot of travel there and back it was well worth it. Etna was an experience everyone should have.Taomari was also a lovely example of a Sicilian village.

    Enjoyed the trip overall. More time in taormina would be nice. Wasn't to bothered about the Mt Etna trip. But was good to see different part of Sicily. Think a trip to taormina and godfather tour would have suited me.

    We needed more time in Taormina as there is a lot to see. It needs to be made clear to everyone that if you are not going to the top of Etna then you will have an 2.5 hour wait with not a lot to do at the 1900 point.

    The trip was 13 hours long. Of these 13 hours we were given 1 and a half hours Taormina and 2 hour at Etna. This was not enough time to look and enjoy. We spent a total time of 9 and a-half hours on a bus - with a 15 minute toilet stop. It was painful.

    Die Zeit für die Stadt war etwas zu knapp, ansonsten war es eine sehr schöne und interessante Fahrt.
