Discover charming small towns and lemon and orange plantations in the hilly landscape. Climb Mount Etna and ride along the jagged coastline defined by salt pans, beaches and cliffs. Visit a winery for a wine tasting and settle down on the terrace of a local trattoria for a tasty meal.
Active volcanoes and deep blue sea
