Our pick-up service covers various accommodations in Taormina area, including Castelmola, Giardini Naxos, Letojanni, Giarre, and Fiumefreddo.
Embark on a scenic drive along the northern slopes of the magnificent Mount Etna, providing you with an opportunity to witness different lava flows and marvel at geological and botanical wonders. As we traverse through the enchanting landscape adorned with pines, oaks, and brooms, you'll have the chance to explore the lava front of 2002 and even venture into a natural cave formed by the lava flow.
Next, we'll proceed to Piano Provenzana, situated at an elevation of 1800 meters above sea level. Here, you'll witness the lasting impact of the remarkable eruption that occurred in 2002. This eruption, considered one of the most explosive of the twentieth century, lasted for nearly three months. Piano Provenzana is also home to a charming ski resort, adding a unique touch to the breathtaking surroundings.
In coordination with your knowledgeable driver, you can partake in a moderate hike to explore the side craters characterized by seven small, aligned eruptive cones, known as "buttonholes." Along the way, prepare to be mesmerized by the awe-inspiring views of the North-East Crater, the eruptive mouths, the 2002 lava flow, and a panoramic vista of the Ionian and Calabrian coasts.
After a fulfilling adventure, it's time to satisfy your appetite with a delightful lunch at a typical country restaurant.
