Welcome to Sicily!

Catania and Taormina
9:00 | Start with Catania. With your guide, you will head to the famous and colorful fish market, which animates the square behind the Alemanno fountain every morning, which takes its name from the underground stream that feeds it. Your driver will take you to Castelmola, an enchanting town, where it is possible to taste the delicious almond wine. Continue to Taormina, one of the fascinating villages in Sicily. Favorite summer destination of aristocrats and charming characters, Taormina has become a stop not to be missed if you come to Sicily.
Included: Private transportation (8 hours), English-speaking guide (8 hours), entrance fees to Greek Theater, almond wine tasting in Castelmola.
Mount Etna
9:00 | Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe, a symbol of eastern Sicily. Enjoy a walk around the craters, in a setting that looks like a lunar landscape, in the company of a specialized naturalist guide. Afterwards, your driver will take you to a local winery. The continuous volcanic eruptions have created over the years a particularly suitable condition for the cultivation of the vineyards, which surround the entire perimeter area. The winery we have selected is one of the most renowned in the area. After learning the techniques of wine production, you will take part in a technical wine tasting, combined with a light lunch based on local products, which will enhance the flavor and aromas.

Syracuse
9:00 | Birthplace of Archimedes and home of Pythagoras and Plato, Syracuse was one of the most influential cities in the Mediterranean. The private visit starts from the archaeological park. Inside, you can admire the Greek theater, a great example of ancient Greek architecture. Not to be missed is the Ear of Dionysus, an artificial cave carved into the limestone. Its particular shape allows amplifying the sounds up to sixteen times, producing a powerful echo. The visit continues to Ortigia, the historic center of the city. This strip of land is linked to the rest of the city by two bridges. Its charming medieval streets will take you to the central square where the majestic Duomo dominates the scene. The Duomo is an ancient Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, later converted into a church. The facade, destroyed by an earthquake in 1693, was later rebuilt in the Baroque style.
