Etna South Tours

Exploring the villages of Mount Etna

Zafferana Etnea

With Etna South Tours, we will visit some of the most picturesque villages around the volcano, such as Santa Venerina and Zafferana Etnea, where houses are built from lava rock. Here, you can also buy local specialties like wine, honey, and delicious homemade sweets.

Along the way, we will explore ancient lava flows, and as we ascend, you will notice how the natural vegetation changes with altitude.

Upon reaching 2,000 meters, we will visit the Silvestri Craters, formed during the 1892 eruption, located near the Rifugio Sapienza service area.

At this stop, you can taste grilled sausages and try the famous Fire of Etna, a strong, fiery-red liqueur with an intense flavor.

Recent craters and lava flows

Etna, Silvestri’s craters

Our journey will also take us to the most recent lava flows and craters formed during the 2001, 2002, and 2003 eruptions, which destroyed several restaurants—some of their ruins are still visible, emerging from the dark lava fields.

For those looking for an even more thrilling experience, it is possible to reach 3,000 meters at an extra cost. This part of the tour includes a cable car ride to 2,600 meters, followed by an off-road 4×4 journey to the summit of the volcano.
