Sicily is just 90 minutes away by catamaran – and a day trip to the Italian island is an experience like no other. You'll get to discover Mt Etna – Europe's highest volcano – and either Taormina in summer or Modica in winter.
You'll have the chance to explore the slopes of Mt Etna, the continent's most active volcano. The climb up to the crater takes you through picturesque villages and an ever-changing landscape. The lower slopes are extremely rich and fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and more.
Historic Taormina is visited between May and September. Located atop sloping sea cliffs, it's one of Sicily's most beautiful towns, with an ancient Greek theatre overlooking the coast below and medieval and Renaissance palaces.
From October to April, we visit Modica, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its wealth of Sicilian baroque architecture. There are 300 steps to climb to enter the Cathedral of San Giorgio church – but it's worth it for the views below and the décor inside.
