Coisas para fazer em Catânia

I was so grateful to our kind guide who explained everything diligently and took such good care of me. When I was struggling, they held my hand and walked with me, haha. It was a fun experience! ♥♥

The pick-up and drop-off were punctual, and the meeting point was easy to find. The guide and driver had excellent driving skills and a wealth of knowledge, providing lively and interesting commentary throughout the journey. The itinerary included a visit to a local specialty shop (where honey, red wine, and olive oil were available for tasting), a walk through a volcanic cave (safety helmets were required throughout, and the guide provided each person with a flashlight for use during the cave visit), and a hike along the trail to the volcano. Visiting in January, shortly after Mount Etna had received fresh snow, the powdery snow covering the trails, combined with the smoking Mount Etna, created a magnificent landscape and a truly memorable experience.

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and friendly. The scenery after taking the cable car (cable car tickets need to be purchased separately) up the mountain is spectacular and well worth it. There is still snow on the mountain this season, so please be aware of glare from the snow and the risk of sunburn.
