Exclusive Shore Excursion from Messina port to Taormina and Mount Etna
Overview
Experience an unforgettable day climbing one of the most active volcanoes in Europe and visiting one of the pearls of the Mediterranean, Taormina.
When you disembark at the port of Messina, your driver will be awaiting you. You immediately begin your private excursion by climbing of the "Giant", Mount Etna. Your driver will take you up to 1800 meters. From there, you can visit the Silvestri Craters and enjoy a breathtaking view, unique in the world.
After the excursion on Etna, the tour continues on to Taormina, perched on a terrace overlooking the sea. Considered the "Lady of the Ionic Coast", it has historically been a destination for celebrities and other famous people.
