At the foot of Mount Etna lies the beautiful city of Taormina, described by Churchill as the most beautiful place on earth.

Afterwards, we will have time to stroll through the lively old town of Taormina, with its stunning Greek Theater overlooking unforgettable landscapes.

After lunchtime, we continue to the Roman Villa of Casale (admission and guided tour included), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the Roman Empire, villas symbolized agricultural wealth and exploitation. At Casale, not only has the 4th-century architectural layout been preserved, but thanks to their richness and quality, the mosaics decorating nearly every room are considered the most beautiful of the Roman world.

Crossing the mountainous heart of the island, we continue on to Palermo, arriving at the end of the day. Dinner included.
