Hike Mount Etna from Siracusa, explore lava caves, then enjoy Sicilian food, wine, and local spirits with a small group and expert guide.
“Everything! Fantastic day - our guide Francisco was brilliant - took us up to quieter craters where it wasn’t at all crowded. We then had great fun lava running. He was also really knowledgeable and full of facts and information about the volcano and its many eruptions. We then went for the food and wine tasting which was also excellent - a lovely little winery and the people were lovely - we got to taste allsorts - pistachio cream remains my favourite! I could not recommend this trip more. Picked up and dropped off from our hotel too. Loved it.”

Explore Ortigia’s cathedral, fountains, Jewish Quarter, and Sicilian food and wine with a private local guide on a 2-hour walk.
“We took a tour of historic places in Ortigia with Corrado, a guide we highly recommend. Lots of information about the places and history of the Syracusa region, all told with generosity, in detail and in a friendly atmosphere. We ended the tour with a meal of Sicilian dishes on a friendly terrace. Corrado is proud of Sicily and Syracusa and it showed during the visit.”

Cruise Ortigia, swim by Plemmirio, explore Syracuse sea caves, and enjoy onboard Sicilian lunch, wine, prosecco, and fruit.
“nice trip. but we thought we would get to see the surrounding islands a little closer, and maybe see a little more places. actually drove straight out of the harbour, anchored up for 3.5 hours.”
Travel from Syracuse to Mount Etna for crater views, honey tasting, a winery lunch, and four Sicilian wines with private transport.
“Corrado was very knowledgeable about the history of Mount Etna. We saw the various craters but chose not to do the extended tour to the higher elevation. We felt we had plenty of opportunity to get the flavor of the experience without it. Also had an amazing lunch at a winery and stopped at a place where they made honey. A very eventful day!”

Pick a crater, a coastline or a kitchen.
