The tallest volcano in Europe, Mount Etna is a focal point for the delightful island of Sicily. Still active, there is rarely a day when smoke does not billow from the crater. With glorious beaches, stunning National Parks and so many Greek and Roman Temples in various states of repair, Sicily offers the perfect holiday combination of sun, sea and interesting places to visit.
