Taormina and Mount Etna from Cefalù

4.2/5
36 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.

    Die Tourleiterin war sehr gut. Sie hat viel erklärt und Informationen gegeben. Da sie auch gut englisch und französisch sprach, habe ich sie auch gut verstanden. Leider war zu dem Zeitpunkt, als wir oben auf dem Ätna waren, alles voller Wolken und es war sehr stürmisch.

    De Etna was geweldig, alleen hadden wij graag meer tijd gehad bij de Etna, het was teveel tijdsdruk... Taormina was niet ons ding en te druk...
