Etna feels close at 2800 meters. This Mount Etna 4×4 outing takes you up to Pizzi Deneri and then on to crater views, with a volcanologist guide explaining what you’re seeing over Sicily’s coast. I love the 4×4 ride that…

Etna goes from postcard to real life fast, and this north-crater tour helps. You get to ride in a specially equipped 4×4 through dramatic northern terrain, and I really like the way you still get short hikes to the rim…
Opera in a Sicilian church is a winning idea. This 1.5-hour Catania Chamber Orchestra concert turns a tribute to Vincenzo Bellini into an intimate, live-night experience, not a museum stop. I love the pairing of two accomplished singers with a…
