Overview
As a cruise ship passenger arriving in the port of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the best option to explore and be guided to the discovery of some of the most impressive extinct craters of Mount Etna, formed during the so-called “perfect eruption” of 2002, during this incredible event, the volcano destroyed the tourist station of Piano Provenzana, which was later reconstructed in 2004.
Our hike will start exactly from this area. You will be able to admire the peak of the summit craters, visible throughout the entire excursion. Take your time to stop now and then during the ascent, until you reach the Saponaria fields immediately before the button-hole system of the 2002 craters. With your hiking guide, you will discover different kinds of lava, learn about ancient eruptions, and learn interesting facts about the volcano.
Please note: among our Mount Etna tours from Taormina, this is the one that requires a slightly better fitness level.
