Overview

ETNA & TAORMINA
**ATTENTION: Tour available ONLY departing from Catania
Mount Etna is the highest active terrestrial volcano in the Eurasian Plate. Its frequent eruptions throughout history have changed, sometimes profoundly, the surrounding landscape, coming several times to threaten the populations settled around it. The UNESCO Committee, has included Mount Etna in the list of assets constituting the World Heritage Site.
Taormina is a famous tourist city also visited by artists, writers and intellectuals (among these stayed there Goethe and Truman Capote). Particularly loved not only for its scenic beauty and fantastic panorama, but also for its “dolce vita”, permissiveness and transgression.

Punctuality, efficiency, elegance, experience and professionalism.

Available to meet any customer need.
