Today was a clear day and a good moment to travel to the top of mount Etna.
The mountain has an really active vulkano, who last days was not recommended to visit because of the black smoke. But today it is. After an drive of 1 hour we reached the cable car at Rifugio Sapienza, At an altitude of 1920 meters. From here we took the cable car who brought us to an altitude of 2504 meters in just 15 minutes. From here it’s possible to hike to the top or take an special off-road bus. The cable card price is 30€ and also for the bus you’ll have to pay 30€ they bring you at the altitude of 2790 meters. From here you have to walk 100 meter to an altitude of 2890 meters And you stand on top of als crater and across Etna. Also possible to hire a guide for 9€ to the top of etna, with an small hike. We also had some luck that there where no clouds, this gives us a great view over Etna, the coast and country. A must visit in Sicily!!
after etna we went to Barone di Villagrande an Winehouse based in the etna. Here we did an wine tasting with an view over the fields. After the tasting we get a round in the cellers and some information about the history.
we finished the day at Giardini-naxos with an dinner at the beach.
