Why this trip
Etna smokes, and exactly on that a trip can be built. Anyone who wants to collect ascent in Sicily climbs up to the volcano and experiences lava fields, crater rims and changing weather in a small space. Good boots and a windproof jacket belong in the rucksack, even if summer still prevails down by the sea. The altitude makes the difference: up at the crater it is noticeably colder than on the coast.
After the ascent, cultural stages suggest themselves: the Teatro Antico di Taormina with a view of the coast, the old town of Ortigia in Siracusa or the Villa Romana del Casale near Piazza Armerina. In Cefalù you switch from a city stroll directly to the beach and can add a few strokes of swimming there. The months April to June and September to October are the best for day tours, since the heat stays moderate. With about 1 to 1.5 hours of flight time the island is quickly reached.
Because the distances between places are longer than they look on the map, a conversation about stage length in the video call is worthwhile.
