The Volcanic Mount Etna, A Fiery Tourist Attraction!

If you enjoy observing the forces of nature at work then a trip to see the volcanic Mount Etna in the Northeast of Sicily would be a fantastic addition to your Italian holiday! Mount Etna is the largest, widest, tallest and most active volcano in Europe and has been a huge tourist attraction since records began.

The Greeks and Romans closely observed this fiery mountain of Sicily and believed the regular eruptions to be the work of their gods! Standing at 3,350 metres, Etna has the traditional volcanic cone shape and has a massive base circumference of one hundred and forty kilometres.

Tourists wishing to see this magnificent volcano can stay in one of many exclusive villas in the Toarmina area nearby that are within a safe distance of the fiery mountain!

Plan A White Lotus Vacation In Sicily

It seems like everyone and their mother has been talking about the second season of HBO’s hit television show, “The White Lotus,” especially since its nail-biting finale on Sunday. While the twisting and turning of the plot, the charismatic characters, and the actors who have been made stars by the show were all key elements to the popularity of this season, another major component of the success was its dreamy setting. The previous season had made fans dream of a less eventful holiday of their own in Hawaii and this season introduced many to the undeniable charms of Sicily! As we’re big fans of both the show and the destination and we have an array of some gorgeous villas in Sicily to choose from, we thought it might be a good idea to tell you about some of the spots from this season where filming took place. These are the spots that you can see and admire for yourself (likely and hopefully without all of the drama but certainly with all of the beauty and delights) while enjoying a getaway in Sicily in Italy.

If you’re looking to emulate something even close to the plush style of the show, we do have a range of luxury villas in Sicily to choose from, offering you all of the amenities and space and elegance you could ask for, while also benefiting from the increased privacy and flexibility of a private villa rental. Those, however, who want to take in those gorgeous views from the show and soak up a vacation in Sicily at a more competitive and reasonable price point will have a great selection of holiday rentals in Sicily to choose from, all across the island – it’s all up to you!

Is This The Best Waterpark In Italy?

Picture this: You have taken the time off work. You've organised transport. You found someone to water your plants and take care of your dog. You've even found a perfect villa in Sicily. Now, all you have to do is plan what to do with the long, lazy days ahead. If you're looking for just a little bit of adventure and somewhere to cool off from the typical Sicilian heat, you might consider paying a visit to Etnaland.

Etnaland is Southern Italy’s largest theme park and combines thrill-seeking rollercoasters and rides with pools and waterslides. There are a whole host of different rides and slides to choose from including 25 water rides and 8,500 square metres of swimming pools and a theme park with five different themed areas. The rides include the Dark Kamikaze, Hydro Kamikaze, Stukas, Kamikaze, Twin Twister, Rafting River, Wild River, Big Foam, Red Cannon, Black Hole, Niagara Falls, Miniland, Etnaland Tower, The Storm, Drifting Karts, Eldorado, Love Lagoon, Hip Hop Coaster, Mini Tornado, Brave Kart, Crocodile Rapids, and Dragon River.

The Most Stunning Train Journey In Italy

The charms of taking the train can often be lost in the terrors and horrors of commuting but, while on holidays or travelling, there is something quite Old World and delightful about sitting back in a train carriage and just watching the world go by.

This is particularly true of places such as Italy, where the train is both the best way to traverse the country and also happens to cut through swathes of the incredible countryside, offering you wonderful views of the beautiful surroundings and scenery.

If you were to take just a single train route while exploring Italy, however, the Circumetnea train is one keep in mind.

Visit The Pretty Church Of St. Benedict In Cantania, Sicily!

The stunning church of St. Benedict of Crociferi in Catania city in Sicily is a magnificent place to visit! It is located in via Crociferi that has been declared, along with the historical centre of Catania, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical value and intricate beauty.

Many regard the church of St. Benedict of Crociferi as being one of the most beautiful Baroque style 18th century churches in all of Europe! The foundations of the original church dates back to 1334 and the building itself has been subject to many design changes over the centuries. It was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1693 which destroyed much of the original building.

Beautiful frescoes illustrate the walls behind the high altar, which has become one of the focal points of this ancient and sacred place. The contrast of dark and light colours through the building is sure to capture your gaze and interest for quite some time as you walk around. Intricate imagery and architectural designs face you wherever you look here and emanate a grand and majestic presence.

Spend A Few Days In Catania City

On the east coast of Sicily lies the splendid city of Catania, the second largest on the island of Sicily. It has had an unfortunate history of violent earthquakes over the centuries that have forced its inhabitants to rebuild from scratch many times!

It has also been plagued by volcanic eruptions from the tallest volcanic in Europe that stands over it called Mount Etna! The worst one occurred in 1669 when the city was practically buried under a sea of molten lava and ash. Catania has been buried a record seventeen times under the outpouring of Mount Etna’s eruptions since the beginning of recorded history!

Catania has been uniquely rebuilt using hardened lava as the building material. This had lead to the nickname ’The Grey City’ because of all the new buildings that have been built from the extrusive igneous rock. Many would wonder why anyone would choose to live here, but if you come to visit, you’ll soon find out!
