De Etna is de hoogste actieve vulkaan van Europa en een echt icoon van Sicilië. Dit is je kans om je tot 1.900 of 2.900 meter boven zeeniveau te wagen en de maanachtige landschappen van de kraters van de vulkaan te bewonderen. Je wordt vanuit Taormina de hellingen van de Etna opgereden, waar je – als je ervoor hebt gekozen om naar 2.900 meter te gaan – verder de berg op gaat om de hoofdkrater te bereiken voor een begeleide wandeling en een aantal epische uitzichten. Als je ervoor kiest om op 1.900 meter te blijven, heb je vrije tijd om de natuurpaden rond de Silvestri-kraters te verkennen. Je vindt er ook souvenirwinkels, cafés en een klein museum dat het verhaal van het verleden van de berg vertelt. Hoe dan ook, zorg dat je je camera bij de hand hebt.

It packs in the remains of seven temples perched on a high ridge, all of which you'll see, including the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and Concordia Temple at the end of the Sacred Way. The temples here are over 2,500 years old, so there are a lot of pages in the history books to uncover. You'll be given headphones to hear your guide, too, so you won't miss any details.Afterwards, you'll make your way to the bright white Scala dei Turchi, a natural limestone staircase that is dug into the cliffs and weaves its way down to the sea.
