“Great experience! We started off descending into a couple of caverns in Mt. Etna that required us to use flashlights. That only took about 10-20 minutes and was pretty interesting. After that, our hike consisted of snowshoeing for two hours up Mt. Etna to the highest point in Taormina. We climbed about 200-300 meters during that hike but it was at an easy pace. The views are spectacular from start to finish!” - Reviewed on 2023-02-10
