Land of Volcanoes  

Formed by volcanic eruptions and surrounded by volcanic islands, Sicily still has two active volcanoes - Mt Etna and the Aeolian Island of Stromboli. Stand on an ancient crater, sip wine from hillside vineyards, and walk over dried lava flows – a spectacular backdrop for any event!

You can explore mythical Mt Etna by 4-wheel drive! An unforgettable experience where our knowledgeable and passionate guides will take you off-road to show you how Sicilians have lived for generations under the smoking volcano Mt. Etna.

Sail or helicopter to the Aeolian Islands to visit Stomboli, the only volcano in Europe with permanently eruptive activity. During the night, the glittering "sciara" of fire (the red-hot flow descending towards the sea) can be seen from the boats and during the day, the smoke of the peak joins the steam raising up from the water that cools down the lava detritus that has plunged into the water after sliding down the slope of the coast.

Continue onto Vulcano, a dormant volcano of the ancient Aeolian Islands, and relax in the warm waters of its submarine springs. It’s lunar landscape still shows traces of the last eruption in 1890, which shaped its rocky coastline. It is possible to walk to the crater's peak, or try out the hot springs and its famous hot mud pool (reputed to cure rheumatic ailments). Its beach is of fine, soft black sand.
