You’ll learn that the theater was rebuilt by the Romans in the 2nd century and is still in use today for summer performances. While roaming the fascinating remains of the auditorium, realize that its placement on the slope of a steep promontory offers what some consider to be one of the best views in all of Italy, a breathtaking panorama of Taormina, the glittering Mediterranean and volcanic Mount Etna in the distance.

Brace yourself for an exceptional climb by coach up winding roadways and past mountain villages to one of Etna’s awe-inspiring craters, where the full majesty of Sicily’s natural wonders is on glorious display.

Behold dormant craters atop Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano and one of Earth’s most astonishing natural wonders. You’ll agree the vista-filled ascent to Etna’s summit along circuitous roads past charming mountain villages and through barren, rocky landscapes is almost as remarkable as the volcano itself. Learn that Etna has had a profound impact on the region through the ages, from the Greek’s belief that it was the workshop of Hephaestus, god of fire, to the catastrophe of 1669, when several villages and part of Catania were subsumed by lava. Arriving at the inactive Silvestri craters, more than 6,000 feet above sea level, you’ll discern numerous remnants of lava streams from previous eruptions coating the craters’ slopes. From your fabulous perch, you’ll revel in seemingly endless vistas of the shimmering Gulf of Catania and the surrounding fertile, volcanic landscape, today protected as the island’s first national park. As you stand atop one of nature’s most powerful agents of change, contemplate the indelible impact of Mount Etna’s wrath on the civilizations of the Mediterranean.

Admire captivating rock formations born from lava streams as you travel along the Cyclops Riviera and stroll through lovely Catania on a guided walking tour. You’ll drive through tiny Aci Castello, viewing a Norman castle built from black lava, and in the hillside town of Acireale, a magnificent Gothic cathedral. Looking out to sea, behold the amazing Isole dei Ciclopi, jagged offshore islets said to have been broken off Mount Etna by the Cyclops of Homeric myth and flung into the sea to stop Ulysses and his men from escaping in their ships. Back in Catania, drive past compelling sights such as the Piazza Verga and Piazza Stesicoro before embarking on your walking tour. Begin in stunning Piazza del Duomo, Catania’s central square, which is renowned for its unusual black lava Elephant Fountain, now the city’s symbol, and surrounded by the impressive 18th-century Municipio as well as numerous ornate university buildings. As you stroll alluring streets, you’ll notice that 17th-century architect Giovanni Vaccarini used black lava in the construction of many of the striking buildings, a readily available material when the city was grandly rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693.

Conquer Mount Etna via coach, cable car and 4x4 mini-buses on this epic adventure. You’ll agree the vista-filled ascent to Etna’s summit along circuitous roads past charming mountain villages and through barren, rocky landscapes is almost as remarkable as the volcano itself. Arriving at the inactive Silvestri craters, more than 6,000 feet above sea level, you’ll discern numerous remnants of lava streams from previous eruptions coating the craters’ slopes. From your fabulous perch, you’ll revel in seemingly endless vistas of the shimmering Gulf of Catania and the surrounding fertile, volcanic landscape, today protected as the island’s first national park. If you wish, shop for souvenirs before boarding a cable car to the base of the main craters, enjoying sweeping views of the eminent mountain as you ascend. You’ll transfer to specially-outfitted 4x4 mini-buses that will convey you to formidable craters found at a height of over 9,500 feet above sea level.

On this unforgettable tour, allow the unbridled, primal beauty of Mount Etna to stir your soul.

Explore the timeless city of Taormina with approximately two hours on your own to do as you wish. You’ll enjoy a scenic transfer along a winding road to Taormina, a town graced with an extraordinary natural setting and an evocative medieval character. You might stroll to the exquisite Palazzo Corvaja, a beautifully ornate building whose construction began in the 15th century and which bears Arabic, Norman and Gothic influences. Wander to the Greco-Roman theater, an architectural treasure that dates back to the 3rd century BC, a reminder of how long Taormina has been a vibrant city and a superlative spot from which to take in a breathtaking panorama of Taormina, the glittering Mediterranean and striking Mount Etna in the distance. Perhaps shop along Corso Umberto, the town’s main commercial street, and wander the quaint jumble of elegant homes and picture-perfect churches, a reminder that for centuries Taormina has fascinated poets and artists much as it will inspire you today.

Relish Sicily’s historic winemaking traditions on this visit to a celebrated estate hugging the base of Mount Etna. You’ll learn that after Tuscany and Piedmont, Sicily is Italy’s third most sought-after food and wine destination, likely due to the distinct flavors imparted on the earth’s bounty by the volcanic soil from Mount Etna, the smoldering volcano rising nearly 11,000 feet above the sea. Journey to the northeastern side of Mount Etna and find Linguaglossa, an attractive village where you’ll enjoy a stop before continuing to the splendid Cottanera Estate, a renowned winery whose lands stretch up the northern foothills of the volcano to an altitude of about 2,300 feet above sea level. After touring the vineyard and the cellars, savor a tasting of the estate’s wines, which may include reds crafted with autochthonous nerello Mascalese or cappuccio grapes and whites from the inzolia and carricante varietals, all accompanied by local delicacies. Raise a glass to Cottanera’s skillful vintners and applaud the surprisingly sumptuous gifts of these lava-scarred lands.
