About Nicolosi
Nicolosi sits high on Etna's southern slope, a mountain town where the air is cool and the volcano looms at the end of every street — the perfect base for a first taste of Sicily's wildest landscape. First-timers often start with the From Catania: Full-Day Mount Etna and Taormina Tour, pairing lava fields with Taormina's clifftop lanes, while those who want to stand on the summit itself choose the Etna North: Summit Craters Hike to 3,400 Metres.
