Capture a seemingly endless array of memorable pictures on this guided coach and walking tour of Taormina and Mount Etna. In Taormina, you'll stroll past the exquisite Palazzo Corvaja, a beautifully ornate building whose construction began in the 15th century and which bears Arabic, Norman and Gothic influences. See the Greek theater, an architectural treasure that dates back to the 3rd century BC, a reminder of how long Taormina has been a vibrant city. 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. Before you journey to the iconic volcano, you'll stop for a relaxing lunch of Sicilian specialties at a local restaurant. 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.
