It's from here that in 1669 started a huge eruption which destroyed villages and in part the city of Catania.

Crateri Silvestri are the most popular lateral craters we have around Mt. Etna. This eruption started in 1892
The best moment to have relax admiring the beautiful of nature: a small sandy shore, clean and freezing water, huge basalt columns (which looks like a canyon) as a result of ancient volcanic eruption . Everything surrounded by an amazing spontaneous vegetation and wildlife.
