Taormina and Mt. Etna (FDE)
- Taormina and Mt. Etna -
Taormina is probably the best known of all Sicilian towns because of its unique beauty, the splendid panorama visible from there and the mild climate enjoyable all the year through. The town has been a favourite holiday resort for North European celebrities: from authors such as Truman Capote, D.H.Lawrence and Oscar Wilde to actresses like, for instance, Ava Gardner, Romy Schneider, Liz Taylor and Greta Garbo. Royalty have also been guests of this town: King Edward VII travelled there several times, while other members of the British Royal Family stayed even for prolonged periods. The wonderful Greek-Roman Theatre, which is well over 2000 years old and is still used nowadays for summertime performances, matches in charm the typical narrow little streets lined with small handicraft shops, characteristic restaurants listing fish-based menus and elegant bars where time seems to have stopped to the 1930s and 1940s in the style of their decorations and furnishings as well as in the fashionable clothes worn by their customers. The trip to Mount Etna is a unique experience for most people since the volcano is still active and a huge pall of smoke always sits on top of its crater. On the way up the mountain slopes it is possible to notice how vegetation soon fades away to make room for a rocky, moonlike panorama and eventually for snow the year around. Vapour and gasses issue from cracks in the ground and visitors are thrilled to admire from close-up the actual mouth of the volcano and to watch a piece of paper burn when coming into contact with the ground. All this, needless to say, takes place in absolutely safe conditions - something that very rarely happens when visiting a volcano anywhere.
Roadbook
An English-speaking driver-guide will pick you up at your hotel to take you for a sightseeing tour of Taormina and Mt. Etna. Once in Taormina, you will be able to take a walk through its lovely little streets to get a feeling of the uniqueness of this town. Since it is a must to taste tantalizing Sicilian delicacies, at lunch time, at your request, you will be given a choice of either stopping at a typical local restaurant or being driven to nearby Castelmola, for a characteristic lunch in another splendid setting.
The visit to Mt. Etna will be different from ordinary tourist excursions and will bring you close to the mouth of the volcano in absolute safety.
