Soak up the drama of Sicily's iconic landmark with a trek around the otherworldly Crateri Silvestri on Mount Etna. Your half-day journey begins with a drive through the charming villages that thrive at the bottom of Europe's largest and highest volcano. Then, your coach will steadily climb to a height of 6,233 feet above sea level to the Silvestri Craters, which formed after Etna's eruption of 1892. Once you disembark your guide will escort you to the edge of the craters, which affords dazzling views over the lunar landscape. On your return drive down the volcano your coach will pass through the villages of Santa Venerina, known for its wineries and Zafferana Etnea, that boasts amazing views of the majestic mountain and the azure Ionian Sea. Finally, you'll return to your ship ready to begin another adventure.
