Final post of a series notes about Sicily.
The Volcano Etna is in east part of Sicily, it is the most convenient to it to plan a trip from Catania.
From apart the mount looks impressively because landscape over surrounding flat (well, almost flat) district, instead of borders on other mountains.
Photo through a car window.
The bottom ща Etna all black — a volcano all the same operating also is volcanic breeds and the stiffened lava from the previous eruptions.
Burnt forest on a slope of Etna. Unreal Martian trees. Photo from a car window.
View not from the top, and somewhere from 2000 metres above sea level — last point to which it is possible to reach on the car.
Etna — 3000 metres in height, on the car it is possible to rise to settlement at height approximately 2000 metres above sea level. If want to reach by all means a crater (them on a volcano a little) can issue excursion in this settlement, and how I can think in advance in Catania. And further at you a choice: or to rise on foot is cheaper, or on Land Rovers is more expensive (so I understand that jeeps too not will take to a crater, only on foot it is perhaps). Ascension costs somewhere from €65.
Necessarily take care of warm clothes! At bottom temperature was +20°, but on 2000 metres was -3°.
