Our first stop is Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano – and we’re not just here to look. The choice of how well you get to know her is yours. You might take the cable car up the mountainside for breathtaking views before continuing on foot to explore the higher trails.

We say goodbye to Etna and journey into the heart of Sicily, arriving at the beautiful town of Taormina. Quite quickly, you'll come to understand why it's known as the ‘pearl of the Mediterranean', and why endless famous people – such as Elizabeth Taylor – have vacationed here. This idyllic hilltop town sits on the east coast of Sicily, with a stunning view over the Ionian Sea. The medieval buildings have long since been restored, the winding streets are brimming with shops, bars, and restaurants. Enjoy a free afternoon wandering through its picture‑perfect streets and savouring the very best of local cuisine.

As the afternoon draws to a close, you’ll take a short and scenic journey to the coastal town of Letojanni, passing sun‑kissed bays and charming seaside views along the way. Once you arrive, you can choose to unwind and relax after a full and unforgettable day – or head out to explore this lovely coastal resort.
