Arrival in Catania gives way to a ribbon of coastal road and the first view of Mount Etna — a black-shouldered giant that seems to inhale smoke and exhale vineyards. The group settles into Taormina, where cobbled Corso Umberto leads toward cliffside views of the Ionian Sea and a Greek theater that still rings with history.
moderate.
8 days.
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition who can manage daily 1–3 hour walks and a moderate high-altitude visit to ~1,900–2,000 m on volcanic terrain.
Yes — the tour is private and paced, but you should disclose mobility needs at booking; some sites have uneven surfaces and stairs.
A private English-speaking licensed guide is included; local guides at museums may use multiple languages depending on availability.
Most meals as listed and specified admissions (e.g., Etna winery tasting, chocolate museum) are included; check the itinerary for specifics and any optional extras.
Standard European travel insurance is recommended for trip interruption and medical coverage; no special vaccinations are required for Sicily beyond routine immunizations.
Eastern Sicily mixes Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Norman layers — many towns were rebuilt after 17th–18th century earthquakes, giving the UNESCO-listed baroque character seen today.
Etna’s environment is fragile: stay on marked paths to protect regrowth after eruptions, and support local wineries and producers that use sustainable viticulture practices.
