Highlights

Explore Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, with a guided adventure through lava fields and ancient craters. After pick-up from Catania or Taormina, begin with the visit of a volcanic lava cave equipped with helmets and torches. The experience continues with an ascent by 4x4 bus, accompanied by authorized volcano guides, reaching about 2900 metres with spectacular views over the summit craters and the Sicilian coastline. You will also enjoy an easy panoramic walk near the volcanic area and discover the fascinating landscapes created by the 2002 eruption. A lunch stop at a mountain snack bar is possible at the end of the excursion. This tour allows you to reach the highest accessible areas of Etna without demanding physical effort. However, due to the high altitude and irregular mountain tracks, it is not recommended for pregnant women, babies under 4 years old, or people suffering from asthma, heart or respiratory problems.

About Catania

Catania, on Sicily's east coast, is a black lava-stone city beneath Mount Etna, with a noisy fish market, Baroque squares and a long seafront.

Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, the active volcano whose lava reached the city in 1669, and an earthquake in 1693 flattened it. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the Baroque style, it uses black lava stone for walls and paving, set against white limestone. The Piazza del Duomo has an elephant of lava stone carrying an obelisk, the cathedral of Sant'Agata, and a fountain.

Top-ranked sights in Catania: Piazza Duomo, Via Crociferi (Via dei Crociferi) , Gambino Winery (Vini Gambino).
