Embark on a thrilling day trip from Taormina to the majestic Mount Etna, Europe's tallest volcano, standing tall at 10,922 feet. Its majestic, smoke-shrouded peak is a constant presence on Sicily's landscape, its shape constantly evolving with each new eruption. Your adventure begins with an 8:30 am pickup from Taormina, followed by a scenic drive to the Etna refuge.
