Adventure to Mount Etna & Authentic Sicilian Street food | From Messina
“Perfect Day in Sicily with Vincenzo”
There were four of us on this tour and Vincenzo provided a perfect day for us. We started with a stop in a bakery in a small village on the drive up to north side of Etna. Then a short hike up to the 1865 lava fields during which Vincenzo explained the history and characteristics that make Etna special. We then went to the village of Milo where Vincenzo had arranged for us to have freshly made arancini and wine on the main square with breaktaking views of the sea. Then a stop in Taormina for cappuccino and shopping capped a perfect day. Thank you Vincenzo for your wonderful hospitality!
