Personally, I prefer the view when over-flying the volcano... being anywhere within lava-striking distance is a shade too close for my liking. Nice review, and you have guts to go up to the edge of the caldera without specialist breathing equipment! by pgn0

Ahhhhh"! What a nice story, too! We are off to Sicily in May. Via Catania. I can see now that I need to pick a few places and not try to do too much in the 8 days we are there. Can always return, eh? Zed by Reynarda
