Experience Sicily at its best!

Your private English speaking driver will pick you up directly from the gangway of your cruise ship, ready to start this incredible adventure!

You will explore Taormina, a wonderful resort town perched on the side of the mountain and very close to Mt. Etna. Enjoy a stroll through the colorful streets or visit the world's best known ancient Greek ampitheatre, the second largest in Sicily, which continues to host performances today.

You will visit a local vineyard on the slopes of Mt. Etna, admiring the stunning hilltop views of the bay. You will taste four different locally produced wines paired with a simple, but tasty Sicilian light lunch. The usual light lunch includes dried tomatoes, olives of the area, local cured meats, and other specialties.
