"On its website, this modern restaurant describes itself as “the home of different flavours from the Karst region”. The cuisine here is generous and exciting, with a focus on top-quality ingredients that the chef skilfully transforms into delicious dishes. The pizzas are excellent; the Burger Gourmet and Tuna Burger, served with home-made beetroot bread, are superb; and the exquisite desserts simply cannot be missed!" - Michelin Inspector
"Europe’s highest and most active volcano offers a classic hiking experience: well-developed paths, local guides, and frequent monitoring let you trek across solidified lava flows and crater rims with confidence; panoramic views over Catania and the Ionian Sea reward climbs that range from gentle slopes to full-day ascents, and even when Etna puts on a show—its familiar plume catching the evening light—routes are strictly watched and paths blocked at the first sign of activity." - Hana Al-Khodairi
"Sicily's eastern coast is home to the historic city of Catania and the charming town of Taormina, offering views of Mt. Etna, upscale shopping, and luxury accommodations."
"The island's iconic volcano featured on the itinerary with an off-road Jeep excursion; the surrounding region also includes wineries that benefit from volcanic soils." - Regan Stephens
"An active volcano that shapes the island’s geography and agriculture; its slopes feature Mars-like hardened lava fields, lava-formed rock formations, and nearby vineyards and orchards where one can harvest grapes, pears, and herbs, providing a vivid backdrop to local food production and tasting experiences." - Khushbu Shah
