From here you will continue to an ancient lavic hole, from which you will admire the Bove Valley, the vast basin on the Eastern side of Mt. Etna. You will then visit a lava cave, once used as a sacred space and burial grounds. Following you will see the lava flow of 1991-1993, caused by one of the longest eruptions in recent history. This will be followed by a visit to a local business to taste their honey and local products.You may choose to partake in this excursion in the morning or at sunset!
