From 195€ per person
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 5 hours
For the ancient Greeks mount Etna was inhabited by giants and monsters. Odysseus managed to escape from the Etna cave of a round-eyed cyclop Polyphemus. The Romans considered Etna to be the forge of the god Vulcanus, for the Arabs Mount Mongibello became a source of snow for ice cream. People come from all over the world to look at alien black landscapes, smoking craters, red-hot lava flows. The Roman emperor Hadrian once rose to the volcano to meet the dawn. Since then, new craters have appeared, Etna is constantly changing. We can climb to the level of 1900 meters and admire the dead Silvestri craters, or we can climb to the smoking craters to a height of 3000 meters with the cable-way and off-road cars (ticket 65 euros) and take a walk accompanied by a volcanic guide.
