Everything You Need to Know Before Climbing Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy | Volcano Trekking Vlog

Join us as we climb Mount Etna and share what we learned on how to visit the highest active mountain in Europe!
👉🏼 Our Channel / @davandj
In today's Sicily Vlog we drive from Naxos all the way to the Rifugio Sapienza, the starting point to hike and explore mount Etna with its beautiful landscapes, lava tunnels, caves and breathtaking views over the bove valley. With the help of a volcanological guide we learn everything about the geography, history and geology of "A Muntagna"

Extra Tips for Mt. Etna:
1. Bring some cash (mostly for parking or toilets) but if merchants insist on Cash be aware that they MUST Accept card.
2. Plenty of food in Sicily, even at 2,500 Mt you can get some Arancini but they are a bit overpriced, still better than making a sandwich like we did though 😂😂
3. Some tour sellers will pretend to be "Official guides" They're just trying to establish authority, stopping you in a parking lot and trying to sell you stuff go yourself to the ticket offices and compare offerings and prices.

Nice video!
I am currently looking for a place to move to and bumped into your channel while searching information about Italy.
Your couple reminds me of mine, my wife is asian and I am a bald European man.
