Description

This is not just an Etna tour — it is a journey through time. Your day begins in Acitrezza, the legendary land of the Cyclops, where mythology and geology blend into one dramatic story. Here, among ancient lava stacks rising from the sea, you’ll uncover how Mount Etna was born and how its fiery breath shaped Sicily’s coast. From the myths of Polyphemus, you rise toward the mountain itself. Along the way, enjoy a heartwarming stop at the home of a local beekeeper, where you’ll taste honey and traditional Sicilian delicacies, all produced on the fertile slopes of Etna. The experience continues with an amazing visit of a natural lava cave, with helmets and torches, and and a panoramic stop to the Valley del Bove Belvedere and its amazing geological History. The main and last stop will be along one of Etna’s most scenic and historically rich trails — a place where every rock tells a chapter of the volcano’s evolving story. Your will reach 2,000 meters, where you’ll have free time to explore, take in the vast lunar landscapes, and, if you wish, enjoy lunch at a mountain refuge. A full-day adventure (8–9 hours including time transfers) that reveals Etna’s soul — from its mythical origins to the living, breathing volcano you see today.
