Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and a true icon of Sicily. This is your chance to venture either 1,900 or 2,900 metres above sea level to check out the lunar-like landscapes of the volcano's craters. You'll be driven from Taormina to Rifugio Sapienza, where – if you've chosen to go up to 2,900 metres – you'll switch to a cable car and 4x4 vehicle to reach the main crater for a guided walk and some epic views. If you opt to stay at 1,900 metres, there's free time to explore the nature trails around the Silvestri Craters, along with souvenir shops, cafés and a small museum that tells the story of the mountain's past. Either way, you'll want your camera for this one.

Det förflutna kommer till liv i Siracusa – en stad till brädden fylld av sitt historiska arv, inte minst genom den sicilianska barockarkitekturen.

När turen är slut kommer du att känna staden och dess arv utan och innan.”Med mer än 2 700 års historia bakom sig är Siracusa en av Siciliens mest fascinerande städer. Din tidsresa börjar i den arkeologiska parken i västra delen av staden. Upptäck den grekiska teatern där 15 000 åskådare får plats, som trots att tidens tand satt sina spår är häpnadsväckande. Här hittar vi också Hierons altare, grottan Dionysos öra och den romerska amfiteatern.Efter detta korsar vi bron till stadsdelen och ön Ortygia.
