Holiday houses & holiday apartments Sicily

Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Italy (2010), page 126

The authors Dr. Bernhard Abend and Anja Schliebitz give an impression of the country:
“Italy is not just a country – Italy is an attitude towards life. The country and its inhabitants represent a scale of different emotions that range from yearning for care-free life to an enjoyment of chaos and also include a thirst for knowledge or culinary cravings.”

Sicily is not only the largest island in the Mediterranean but also has the highest and most active volcano in Europe – Mount Etna which you can experience up close. A number of hiking and bike routes go past summit craters, lava fields and place where lava bursts to the surface. One should not miss out on this exciting tour. The hikes generally are available between mid May and the end of October. It is necessary though to take safety precautions as Etna still remains an active volcano. It is advised to gather important information from local authorities and other information centres in respect to current dangers and secure ways of discovering this unique location.
Should you be interested in even more volcanic activity then you will probably enjoy one of the guided tours to both volcanic islands of Volcano and Stromboli located north of Sicily. Particularly Stromboli provides a great spectacle as by the minute and hour one can watch eruptions of red glowing lava.
