Regarder le ciel s'illuminer dans des nuances d'orange et de rose, pour s'éteindre lentement dans l'obscurité, depuis le sommet d'un volcan est une sensation particulière. Cette visite riche en émotions vous emmène sur l'Etna, un incontournable de la Sicile. Vous serez conduit à près de 3 000 mètres d'altitude pour admirer le coucher du soleil, puis vous vous détendrez autour d'un repas traditionnel pour clore votre aventure. Ciccio, l'un de nos guides locaux experts, explique : "Le nom du volcan vient du mot grec ancien "aitne", qui signifie "je brûle". C'est un nom approprié pour ce volcan qui est le plus actif d'Europe". Dans le cadre d'un groupe limité à 25 participants maximum, vous partirez en minibus pour atteindre l'Etna. Quand le terrain deviendra plus rocheux, nous passerons à un véhicule 4x4. Au fur et à mesure que nous atteindrons les 2 900 mètres d'altitude, le point le plus élevé que l'on puisse atteindre en toute sécurité, nous arrêterons à plusieurs reprises pour admirer le paysage rude et lunaire et les flancs couverts de lave de cette imposante montagne. Ciccio dit : "On peut se demander pourquoi tant de gens vivent sur les pentes de l'Etna. La réponse est simple : le sol volcanique est extrêmement fertile, et vous verrez des cultures traditionnelles comme la vigne et les agrumes, ainsi que de nouvelles cultures comme les avocats et les papayes". Assurez-vous de porter des chaussures de marche confortables et des vêtements chauds ; il fait froid en altitude. Après avoir admiré les vues près du sommet, un guide de montagne vous accompagnera à pied à une distance de 2500 m moins exposée, duquel vous pourrez admirer le coucher du soleil depuis un endroit plus confortable. Au retour, nous nous arrêterons dans un chalet restaurant pour profiter d'un dîner typiquement sicilien.

Full-day Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi tour
Two of Sicily's highlights are in the spotlight on this full-day tour. You'll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Valley of the Temples, an archaeological site that's loaded with what's left of seven 2,500-year-old shrines, including the Temple of Concordia – it's ranked as one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world. Afterwards, you'll head to one of the top ten most unique coastlines as named by TripAdvisor – Scala dei Turchi. Giuseppa, one of our expert local guides, says “the Valley of the Temples is landscaped with lots of flowering almond trees, another staple of Sicily, that will really add something extra to the photos you take here.”First up is one of the largest archaeological sites in the world, the immense Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. It packs in the remains of seven temples perched on a high ridge, all of which you'll see, including the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and Concordia Temple at the end of the Sacred Way. The temples here are over 2,500 years old, so there are a lot of pages in the history books to uncover. You'll be given headphones to hear your guide, too, so you won't miss any details.Afterwards, you'll make your way to the bright white Scala dei Turchi, a natural limestone staircase that is dug into the cliffs and weaves its way down to the sea. You'll have some time to unwind and go for a swim before heading back to the hotel.

Mount Etna Sunset Tour with Sicilian Dinner
Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure. Ciccio, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The volcano's name derives from the ancient Greek word “aitne”, meaning “I burn”. It's an appropriate name for Europe's most active volcano.' As part of a select group of no more than 25 guests, you'll go by minibus to Etna. As the terrain becomes rockier, we switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As we make our way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable – there'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain. Ciccio says, ‘You might wonder why so many people live on Etna's slopes. The answer is simple – volcanic soil is extremely fertile, and you'll see traditional crops like vines and citrus fruits, plus newcomers such as avocados and papaya growing here.'Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, we'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.

Sicily tour with Randazzo Market and wine-tasting by Mount Etna
With the popularity of TV shows like White Lotus, Sicily has upped the ante as a must-see destination for set-jetters – that's people inspired by TV and film set locations to me and you. You'll find plenty of sights to capture for yourself on this full-day tour that takes in the town of Randazzo, just north of Mount Etna, and a winery where you'll get to taste the fruits of the volcanic landscape. Francesca, a local guide, says “I love the start of this tour, as we drive through one of Sicily's best kept secrets – the Alcantara Valley. You'll see hillside villages, gorges and the mountainous panoramas that Sicily is famed for.”The bustling town of Randazzo is your first stop, sitting on the north-west fringe of Etna National Park. It's one of the only towns to remain untouched by Etna's historic eruptions, so a lot of the classic Sicilian architecture of the churches and houses is still in its original form. Every Sunday is about one thing here – the local market, which you'll get free time to explore. Seek out regional specialities here, like sweet cannoli and local olives and mushrooms, or snack on arancini rice balls as your browse delicate ceramics on the stalls. Round off your experience with a trip to a top-tier vineyard for a tasting session on the slopes of Mount Etna. The volcanic soil is super fertile here and delivers crisp, citrusy whites and earthy, cherry reds. You can buy a few bottles to take home as a reminder of the taste of Sicily.
