About Giarre
Giarre sits on Sicily's eastern flank between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna, a working town with a handsome 19th-century centre that makes a practical, unhurried base for exploring the volcano and the coast. From here you can join a full-day Mount Etna Tour with Lunch and Winery Wine Tasting through lava fields and vineyards, or head underground on the shorter Etna Side Crater & Lava Slide Cave Tour with Tasting. The town's own draw is quieter: broad piazzas, a lively morning market, and easy access to Taormina, Catania and the sea.

Frequently asked questions
Book Etna tours and winery visits as early as you can for summer and the busy spring and autumn weekends, since group sizes are limited and the best-rated departures fill first. Winter and early spring are quieter, but snow on the upper volcano can change itineraries, so confirm conditions before travelling.
