WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Giarre
Departing from the cruise port exit gate or your hotel in Messina. Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes according to the weather. Then you will have a picturesque seaside ride to Giarre town. Giarre is a tiny village in the province of Catania where it is possible to discoverer impressive cultural attractions. It was founded in the 16th century.
2. Mount Etna
From Giarre town we will ride towards Mount Etna. The scenic route passing the villages of Santa Venerina and Zafferana Etnea as well as the memorable landscape of farms, vineyards, woods, dried lava flows, and volcanic cones. And of course, we will have stops to take photos. If you will want we will have local food tasting in a restaurant at an altitude of 2000 meters. Mount Etna on Sicily, locally called "Mongibello", is Europe's largest and most active volcano. Its frequent eruptions are often accompanied by large lava flows, but rarely pose danger to inhabited areas. Etna is one of the volcanoes with the longest historic records of eruptions, going back more than 2000 years.
3. Craters Silvestri of Mount Etna
After that, we will visit Silvestri Craters. The Monti Silvestri are two inactive craters formed as a result of the Mount Etna eruption of 1892. Situated just a few steps from the Rifugio Sapienza in Nicolosi at about 1,900 m above sea level, the craters are named after Prof. Orazio Silvestri. Half of all visitors of Mount Etna travel via Nicolosi on the southern slopes to see this highest active volcano in Europe. A walk up and around the Silvestri craters is a good solution for all those who have problems with their heart or lungs and cannot go further up to the summit. The volcanic landscape around the craters is impressive and of a rare natural beauty. Again time for photos before we head to one of the wineries of Mount Etna, a pleasant time dedicated to visiting the winery. The visit includes the history of the local grapes, the way of vinification, and of course tasting of different wines. The tour ends with a pleasant trip back to Messina.
