Sicily is one of the most aspired destinations in Italy. The reason is that it is culturally charged . The region is easy to approach, as it is an important part of most of eastern and southern European tours. The individual visit can also be a good idea. From brutality of the mafia to the beauty of nature Sicily has it all. The best of Sicily is its nature. You can never forget the beautiful landscapes of hills, vineyards, almond orchards and endless wheat fields. Sicily is an island surrounded by the sea so blue that it seems unreal. In addition, Europe's greatest natural wonder, Mount Etna is situated on Sicily. Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe. You can have a etna excursion around on the Circumetnea, a train which takes you from Catania to Randazzo and Giarre. The rich thick forest that surround the Etna region is a further attraction to the tourists. Apart from the seldom traffic problems and delays in flights and trains, the city offers a lot of traveling experiences. I strongly suggest you take this tour! Climbing to the top of Etna can be breathtaking specially during summer. Guides up on top wait for groups to form and will take you on a etna tour. What awaits you there is: - Lunar-desert scenery
- Sulphurous fumes
- Multicolor craters of different composition
Be careful that Wednesdays are crowded with organized tours though Saturdays are rather quiet. According to many excursionists that hike Mount Etna it was well worth the money spent.
There are two sites to visit from, Etna South or Etna North. - Usually their first visit is to Etna South, because the road access has been recently rebuilt. There is local ski school, chalet etna, shops and restaurants of reasonable quality. The full tour is unlimited in time and costs nearly 45 Euros per person.
- In the North site you can see far more of the devastation of houses and forests caused by the lava flows. They are rebuilding this place and its etna accommodation because it was completely destroyed in the 2001 eruption. So it is a collection of garden sheds selling all sorts.
On the way down you stop at various craters and fumarole. The whole thing takes 2-3 hours and involves a bit of walking as well. The place is risky, it is an active volcano, but if you follow your guides you should not have problems. I highly recommend it because it happened sometimes that some tourist get lost during day hikes mt etna. It is always best to take tour with a volcanic guide, even if you consider yourself an expert mountain climber. Volcanoes are very insidious mountains.
