Morning

Depart Catania

We hope you've been having fun so far in Catania, even if just for the night – but today we're off on our adventure around Sicily. Our first stop is nearby Mount Etna that has always been more than a volcano - it’s a stage where gods, giants, and heroes collide.

Mid Morning

Mount Etna

Our first stop is Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano – and we’re not just here to look. The choice of how well you get to know her is yours. You might take the cable car up the mountainside for breathtaking views before continuing on foot to explore the higher trails. If you're looking for something more active, you can hike from the top of the cable car station towards the crater area, taking in dramatic volcanic landscapes. Note: This will require sturdy walking shoes and a good level of fitness. But if you are happy for something a little more low-key, there are lower-crater trails for easier walks with stunning views in Etna's shadow. Cable Car tickets are included in the tour price.

Afternoon

Free afternoon in Taormina

We say goodbye to Etna and journey into the heart of Sicily, arriving at the beautiful town of Taormina. Quite quickly, you'll come to understand why it's known as the ‘pearl of the Mediterranean', and why endless famous people – such as Elizabeth Taylor – have vacationed here. This idyllic hilltop town sits on the east coast of Sicily, with a stunning view over the Ionian Sea. The medieval buildings have long since been restored, the winding streets are brimming with shops, bars, and restaurants. Enjoy a free afternoon wandering through its picture‑perfect streets and savouring the very best of local cuisine.

Early Evening

Journey to Letojanni

As the afternoon draws to a close, you’ll take a short and scenic journey to the coastal town of Letojanni, passing sun‑kissed bays and charming seaside views along the way. Once you arrive, you can choose to unwind and relax after a full and unforgettable day – or head out to explore this lovely coastal resort.

Accommodation

Your overnight accommodation will be in 4* Hotel Olimpo Le Terrazze, Letojanni (or similar).

Accommodation is included in the price of your tour and is based on 2 people sharing (a single supplement applies when travelling solo). Simply select your preferred room type(s) during checkout. For more information about how accommodation works please see our accommodation guide.
