The must thing to see in Sicily is Etna. It's a long and heavy walk, but something to experience. Take enough food and drink and some wind proof (and warm) clothing. It's quite chilly at the top even if it's warm in the lower regions. Most of the walk is on a road, except the start and the very end. At start it's downhill skiing slope (nice & open terrain). At the end it's just plain path like climb.

 

Unfortunately, I did not see any lava, did not feel any earth shaking, but the scenery was great.

25Km for the round trip. The GPS track is oneway track, simplified with GPSBabel to approx 2500 points.
