Early in the morning, we will be at the meeting place that you will indicate to us to begin the beautiful adventure. We leave in the direction of Taormina for a tourist tour that will introduce you to every corner of the beautiful Sicilian town.
Taormina is a place rich in history and there are still evocative remains of its past today.
It was founded in 358 BC by Greek refugees from the nearby city of Naxos, conquered by Dionysius I of Syracuse and among the oldest Greek colonies in Sicily, with the name of Tauromenion.
A colony of Magna Graecia with its agora, the acropolis at the top of Mount Tauro and the Bouleuterion, seat of the city council. The symbolic monument of Taormina dates back to the Greek period, I am talking about the Greek Theater.
Car rental with driver for tourist excursion on Etna
Renting a car with driver will allow you to fully enjoy the second part of the tour. Soon we will be on Etna a few hundred meters from the active craters, in a surprising lunar landscape. Even for us, who often visit the flanks of the volcano, we are always surprised by the continuous changes of the mountain. The lava flows that periodically flow from the active craters continuously change the appearance of the volcano. Tons of material, expelled from the craters of Etna, overlaps that of the previous eruption, providing an ever-changing landscape!
The active craters on Etna are five and on the flanks of the volcano there have been dozens of them for centuries. Etna changes the territory continuously and we find its traces up to the sea. We have already talked about the Timpa di Acireale, where the fire of the volcano meets the sea. Many do not know that Etna also influences the taste of local food and wine products. Blood oranges for example, the iron contained in the volcanic sand changes the color and flavor of the citrus fruits of this area, improving their taste. But this also applies to grapes and therefore the wine that is produced on the slopes of the volcano.
Discovering the food and wine products of the villages on Etna
We were talking about the effects of volcanic sand on the taste of the products of the earth, from oranges to grapes, but to all the vegetation that feeds the animals. Then, cheeses, honey and wine are certainly a food and wine experience not to be missed!
