Description:

Discover Sicily’s rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty on this full-day exploration of its little-known attractions. Sample freshly-made ricotta at a farm in the Peloritani mountains, linger over lunch in Montalbano Elicona, and check out ancient dolmens near the base of Mount Etna.

Hop aboard your bus in the center of Taormina and head inland toward the villages and rugged scenery of the Peloritani mountain range. Make your way to a local farm, where you can see typical regional cheeses like ricotta being made from scratch.

Sample some of this creamy and delicious cheese alongside fresh-baked bread, and then continue on to visit the medieval village of Montalbano Elicona. Admire the town’s 13th-century castle, roam the pretty streets, and enjoy lunch on your own or with the group before the afternoon portion of your excursion begins.

From Montalbano, head to a mysterious site where ancient stone monoliths and dolmens have stood for thousands of years. Roam around these intriguing formations, and then take in sweeping panoramas from a viewpoint overlooking the slopes of Mount Etna, the wooded valleys of the Peloritani, and the distant humps of the Aeolian Islands off the coast. Your return ride takes you through the mountain town Randazzo, known for its 13th-century Church of Santa Maria and the river-like flow of black lava rock that carves through town from Mount Etna’s 1981 eruption.
