Giardini Naxos is a beautiful beach town just south of Taormina which is very nice and less expensive, but what do you do there? You can cruise over to Mt. Etna which is a stunning outdoor experience, join a boat tour, do cooking classes, or even visit nearby vineyards!  See the below tours, activities, day trips, and experiences.  If you like something, book quickly as these tours sell out in warmer months. 

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. South of the Italian Peninsula, the gorgeous island is home to Mount Etna, the most active volcano in Europe. And near Mount Etna sits Taormina, a gorgeous resort town perched on the side of a mountain. When in Italy, visit Sicily (and enjoy the best Sicilian food and wine)!

You want to see it all when you come to Italy, which means you have to plan carefully and maximize that precious vacation time. Whether you want to explore Tuscany, Venice, Rome, or the Amalfi Coast, you'll find the perfect tour for you. We're Italy experts and have cultivated years of relationships at the top sites. What does that mean for you? You'll enjoy skip-the-line entry and exclusive access to restricted areas at top monuments like the Colosseum and Vatican Museums.
