From Catania airport to Taormina. Today I am at the Catania airport to accompany my guests to Taormina.
From Catania airport to Taormina it will take us about 30 minutes, traffic permitting, but it doesn't matter because, in the meantime, there is a lot to see.
Etna is admired and invites us for a tour to the top of its craters
While waiting in the arrivals area I see many travelers, who while waiting for the taxi point their cell phones towards Etna .... today is wonderful! The sun illuminates them and the snow up to the top of the cone reflects the sun's rays. It is as if the volcano were inviting everyone on a tour to the top of its craters. I am sure that our guests will be magically enchanted by such splendour. But here they come.... I continue my story from Taormina....
Etna tour, our tour on Etna begins
Etna tour, our tour on Etna begins! But let's start from yesterday, we left at Catania airport and I was telling you how beautiful Etna was. As a woman, aware of her beauty, she let herself be admired from afar by newly arrived tourists who immortalized her on their cell phones. Even our new friends who rented our car with driver couldn't help but stop to shoot their first souvenir videos and photos.
I ask myself to wait a few more minutes before leaving for Taormina and after a quarter of an hour they are ready in the car for departure. I understand them perfectly, because as a Sicilian I am always fascinated and I look at the volcano with the same eyes as those who admire it for the first time
From Catania airport to Taormina, the plans for the next day change along the way
I expected it to happen, the photo shoots continue in the car as we head to Taormina and here they ask me for some changes on today's schedule. Tomorrow, they tell me, let's take advantage of the good weather and your mild climate and go to Etna for an unforgettable trip!
Etna always different every time you look at it
Always different every time you look at it. Thanks to the continuous lava flows and explosions, Etna is as if it changed its clothes, its morphology always changes and the same crater takes on different shapes as the days go by. The photo shoots continue by car as we head to Taormina, and here I am planning a quick excursion to the top of the volcano to then descend on the slope that will lead us to the town of Nicolosi. I'll stop writing for now, I'll start again later to continue today's story.
Fresh snow and bitter cold takes our friends by surprise, who, betrayed by the mild climate of Taormina, have not prepared adequately. At the top of the volcano, a splendid sun but at the same time bitterly cold. Just enough time for some souvenir photographs and here we are again towards Nicolosi, they are waiting for us for the tasting of typical products of Etna.
From Catania airport to Taormina
Our tour began yesterday with the knowledge of new friends to be transferred to Taormina and in less than half an hour the program has changed! Now we find ourselves enjoying the freshly picked porcini mushrooms and the fantastic honey from this area of Sicily.
We will soon return to Taormina, tomorrow another long tour awaits us in Marzamemi. If you wish to rent a car with a driver, do not hesitate to contact us.
