Overview

The views from Mt Etna are among the most spectacular in Sicily, but most tours take place at midday when the sun is too bright for photography. With this guided hike, admire the beauty of the volcano’s central crater and Bove Valley in the soft afternoon light. Explore a volcanic cave before stopping for a sunset snack at a traditional “tavola calda” to sample Sicilian street food and local wines.
