We organise transfers from the airport to the property and back for an extra charge of 120 Euros (both ways).
Mount Etna:
An unforgettable experience for those who decide to visit the amazing eastern coast of Sicily will be the discover of Europe's largest volcano and one of the most active on Earth.

It changes frequently according to eruptive activity or minor collapse events at the top craters: the average altitude is about 3300 meters (12540feet) a.s.l. Several roads starting from Giardini Naxos offer different opportunities for climbing up the volcano and visiting the fascinating rural villages and archaeological sites along the mountain slopes. Breathtaking views, Mediterranean vegetation, typical agricultural landscapes, sunny roads, moon-like deserts, good food and wine will be your trip mates. There are a lot of itineraries for those who love trekking and many skiing facilities for those who are not afraid of wind and cold.
