Overview

Unlike standard tours, we offer the freedom to customize your Etna experience. The basic service includes private transfer from your hotel in Taormina or Giardoni Naxos to the Silvestri Craters at 2,000 meters, where you will walk over lunar landscapes between lava flows with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea.

Also included the visit to Oro d'Etna in Zafferana Etnea, with tasting of fine honeys and typical products.

To enrich the day, you can add food and wine stops : from Gambino Vini to Linguaglossa, wine tastings with cheeses, cold cuts and traditional first courses; at the Murgo 1860 Wineries, visit to the winery, tasting of Etna Doc wines and lunch at the San Michele Restaurant.

For those who want to go further, there is the adventurous option at 3,000 meters : by cable car and 4x4 minibus you will reach the summit craters, walking on top between fumaroles and volcanic silences.

You will live an authentic and tailor-made experience, between the power of Etna and Sicilian tradition.

What's included

    After the comfortable departure from your hotel in Taormina or Giardini Naxos (with meeting point at Porta Messina or Porta Catania for those staying in Taormina), your journey will take you to the beating heart of Etna. In Nicolosi, the famous Silvestri Craters await you, the most spectacular and accessible business card of the volcano.

    Born from an 1892 eruption, these two extinct cones will give you an unforgettable experience: you will walk on the edge of an ancient crater, admiring a breathtaking panorama ranging from the steaming peaks of Mount Etna to the deep blue of the Ionian Sea. It is a lunar landscape, unique in the world, where the power of nature is revealed before your eyes.

    You will have plenty of time to take spectacular photographs, explore the trails (easy and suitable for everyone, even children!) and breathe in the wild atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entrance fee of is included. An authentic experience not to be missed.
