Etna keeps moving while you hike. This Etna South Trekking route takes you up Sicily’s highest active volcano along the southern slope, in the summit area, where the terrain is still getting rewritten by eruptions. I like the way you…

You hit three Aeolian islands fast. This mini-cruise strings together Salina, Lipari, and Vulcano in one day, with an expert guide onboard and real time on the islands to wander and cool off. I like the comfort of the motonave…
A quad tour on Etna is not your average volcano photo stop. You’ll drive automatic quads along off-road terrain while looking out over the highest active volcano in Europe from a very close-to-the-ground angle. It’s the kind of 90-minute adventure…
A club night, planned like a friend did it. This Catania party experience pairs pickup and drop-off with a reserved spot at the club and a proper evening program, so you spend less time figuring things out and more time…
Syracuse becomes easy when a pro walks with you. This half-day private tour is led by PhD archaeologist Enrica de Melio, and it strings together the city’s big ancient hits with real-world context as you go. I especially love the…
