Ponte Holidays - Sicily 2021

2 Day Southern Etna, Taormina & A Full Day Shopping At Sicilia Outlet Village Departure on Saturdays from August 7th Weekend Getaways

DAY 1 – MALTA – SICILY Meet the tour manager at the Port for your catamaran to Augusta . Departing from the port of Augusta, you will reach the Southern side of Mount Etna, Europe’s highest volcano with its 3,300 mt. altitude. Once at Rifugio Sapienza at 1,900 mt. a.s.l., you will visit the famous Silvestri craters amid an otherworldly lava landscape of outstanding natural beauty. Breath- taking views of the city of Catania below also present themselves to visitors, a perfect vista for a snapshot. Optional extension by cable car + 4x4 vehicles up to 2,800 mt. a.s.l. (weather conditions permitting – not at exclusive use – about 2 hours 30 minutes). At lunchtime reach a Sicilian winery on the slopes of Mt. Etna, surrounded by vineyards and fascinating natural environment. Experience the DOC Etna wine tasting paired with typical Sicilian dishes and enjoy your unforgettable Sicilian lunch. After lunch, you will reach the next destination of your trip, Taormina, a picturesque small town perched on a slope high above the Ionian Sea on the eastern coast of Sicily. The ancient Greeks found the pairing of Etna and the bay of Naxos, with a wonderful view that when the air is clear can reach the coast of Calabria. The Ancient Theatre is, surely, the main monument of the city, not only for its intrinsic artistic value, but also for the scenic location in which it is placed: the view enjoyed from up there is even defined as the view par excellence. Strolling in Taormina will reveal its golden times: the Roman Naumachiae, the 13th century Cathedral of San Nicolò, the 14th century Palazzo Corvaja, the 16th century Palace of the Dukes of Santo Stefano, the public gardens, the “Badia Vecchia” (Ancient Abbey) and many others. As popular and fashionable destination for decades, Taormina’s hotels and restaurants are very experienced at welcoming foreign tourists, here you can spoil yourself in the La Bella Vita lifestyle!.
