Tour around the Etna by the “Littorina” train

Author: Serena

From the 26th of October to the 31th of December

Thanks to the Circumetnea railway you will tour the Etna territory visiting all the little villages that are placed at the bottom of this big volcano. It is possible to leave from the Catania Borgo railway station or from the Giare railway station that is placed in the main Messina-Catania line. This is the best solution for those who come from Taormina or, vice versa, for those who have to arrive there.

During this characteristic trip you will admire a wonderful countryside full of citrus plantations, olive trees and prickly pears together with completely wild fields placed near the most ancient lava flows.

This service is available from Monday to Saturday while on Sunday you can make a tour organized by the Associazione Strada del Vino dell’Etna. Tripping on an ancient train called “Littorina”, you will reach many cellars where it is possible to taste wines and gastronomical products that are typical of the Etna territory. This trip starts and ends in Riposto.
