Land Of Volcanoes - Family Holiday

Tripcode: FVV

Countries visited: Italy

Summit Mt. Etna Volcano
Explore Roman ruins
Pizza-making demonstration

Filled with ancient wonders, beautiful beaches and natural phenomena, Sicily is the perfect destination for a family adventure holiday. Summit magnificent Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, and visit the nearby lava museum to discover its history.

Explore the Alcantra Gorge, sculpted out of rock by water over thousands of years to form the towering sides we see today. We also visit the picturesque town and Roman ruins of Taormina where we'll see pizza being made the traditional way. At Siracusa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) we explore its rich classical Greek history on a fun-filled treasure hunt, before venturing into the Cava d'Ispica Ravine filled with 5000 temples and Neolithic caves.

All this and there's still time for relaxation on the beach, as well as bird and wildlife spotting in the Vendicari Nature Reserve.
