Here, you'll visit the Grotta della Neve, a lava tube historically used for storing snow.

The tour continues with a walk along the trail to Mount Sartorius and the 1865 eruption site, featuring a line of volcanic cones and a wide lava flow. After the hike, you'll reach Piano Provenzana at 1820 meters, via the road rebuilt after the 2002 eruption.

In the afternoon, you’ll visit Taormina, where you'll have free time to explore local shops, artisan boutiques, and high-fashion stores. The famous Greek Theatre is just a two-minute walk from the main entrance of Taormina.
