Mount Etna Travel Blogs

Background: Italy became a nation-state in 1861 when the city-states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL II. An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, sluggish economic growth, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.

Hmm- har glemt det lille kabel til kameraet, for jeg toer naesten ikke haabe paa at finde internet-adgang - og saa lige pludselig lige her paa Lido de Naxos under Mount Etna ligger der et lille spot!! I faar derfor en lille hilsen fra det varme og urimeligt smukke Sicilien. Vi kom hertil i gaar efter at have sejlet i et doegn uden at kunne komme i havn. Foerste havn var for lav i indsejlingen (vi stikker to meter), anden havn var lukket, tredie havn var for langt vaek til at vi kunne naa den med den smule braendstof, vi havde [View Full Entry]

30 Sept 2008 Ky and Liam opted for a quiet day at the apartment, while Joseph and I headed for Mount Etna. We'd thought Liam wouldn't like the climbing, but as it turned out he could have come along. Following some fairly easy signposting, even through a labyrinth of little streets in a number of small towns, Joseph and I were soon driving up the side of the mountain. We really were in luck today: the clouds cleared and gave me an excellent view of the summit on the way up. Now, a little wo [View Full Entry]

Our first excursion was a trip to visit Mt. Etna. Really very remarkable...I felt as if we stepped off the ship and took a bus to the moon! Mt. Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with an eruption most recently in September. Apparently, although it erupts frequently, the lava flow is very slow, so it is not considered particularly dangerous to inhabitants,as they have plenty of notice to get out of the way. It does take out pretty much anything in it's path, and it was amazing how the locals just keep building right on [View Full Entry]

Sicily trip Europe » Italy » Sicily » Mount Etna
Ive been to Sicily two times while in the Military. You can always see Mt. Etna and its peak smoking from the hot steam inside the Volcano. The food in Sicily is AWESOME, the meatballs are to die for, also lots of fresh seafood. Fields of blood oranges, and you can be in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden come upon a lady offering "her services" so to speak on the side of the road....No kidding! I will never forget that sight. Anyway here are a few pictures. [View Full Entry]

"JONNY - GIVE MY NUNNO A BIG KISS FOR ME" Had some sad news last week with my Cousin Jonny in Sicily Passing Away. I was but 9 weeks off seeing him on my way through Italy. But as we all know the best laid plans....and all that. Anyway jumped on a plane Sunday morning at 4am to arrive in Sicily late Sunday afternoon. I was picked up from the airport by My Cousin Charlie, Alfio and his girlfriend Lisa. Due to a lack of understanding with the Sicilian Language and them with no basic English it was a very quiet [View Full Entry]
