The tour, lasting 8 hours, passes through the small villages around Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, now declared by Unesco in the World heritage list, with its spectacular eruptions.

First, We drive from Santa Venerina and Zafferana, to visit some old lava flows.

Upon reaching the altitude of 2,000 metres, we will visit the “Silvestri” craters, two old craters created during the eruption of 1892.

Once we reach the altitude of 2,000 metres, we can enjoy a wonderful view of mountain, sea and sky, A unique experience that cannot be missed, one you will remember for a long time.

Here we can taste traditional sausages cooked on the barbecue, or try the “Fire of Etna”, a very strong flame-coloured liqueur.

Our next stop is Linguaglossa, situated in a panoramic and privileged position on the northern slope of Mount Etna, which has been making traditional wines on its territory since 1850.

The fertile volcanic earth, full of natural mineral components, gives the wines a particular taste, along with an unusual finesse and richness, all typical of Mount Etna.

Our next stop is to the “Gambino” Winery, where you can take a tour of the vineyard and winery,
followed by wine tasting, accompanied by typical home-made products from the region.

In the afternoon, we drive down to Giardini Naxos, where the first Greek colonists landed in Sicily.
