BestPrivateTours.com - Etna Immersion-Shore Excursion

OVERVIEW

Mt. Etna, since 2013 a UNESCO World Heritage site, is Europe’s highest active volcano; the largest of Italy’s three active volcanoes and one of the world’s most active, being in an almost constant state of activity. This continual renewal of the soil makes the volcano’s slopes some of the most fertile land in Italy, as reflected in Etna’s many fruit orchards, olive groves and wineries.

This private shore excursion provides the services of an English-speaking driver, native to this area, who’ll meet you at the port in a comfortable, air conditioned vehicle and be at your disposal for the excursion’s duration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Here’s a great opportunity to experience Etna’s best: a visit to the active crater; landscapes created by recent activity and a beautiful gorge carved by an ancient eruption. You’ll visit some lovely area villages, sampling the area’s agricultural bounty with tastings of local products along the way and a lunch of typical dishes at a winery; all while savoring the beauty of the stunning landscape and unforgettable views only Etna can provide.

Mt. Etna’s fame and majesty extends even as far as Hollywood. Filmed footage of one of its eruptions was used in Revenge of the Sith of the Star Wars saga. Capture your own images of this mysterious and beautiful part of Sicily. Mt. Etna: she’s ready for her close-up!
