Excursions

Zafferana Etnea is a picturesque town on the slopes of Mount Etna, in an ideal position to make suggestive excursions and visit every part of Sicily. The various dominations that have followed one another have left numerous testimonies and, therefore, there are numerous places of historical, artistic, cultural and naturalistic interest.

Enogastronomic itineraries in the prestigious wine cellars of the area, or, "Dulcis in Fundo", a honey tasting in one of the many companies producing this precious nectar, which have made Zafferana Etnea the " Honey City".

Possibility of geo-exploring the nature trails with a guide or spending exciting hours at the Adventure Park in Milo.

Important events characterise the lively town of Zafferana Etnea all year round: THE PRESTIGIOUS BRANCATI LITERARY PRIZE OR "ETNA IN SCENA" ( AN IMPORTANT THEATRE FESTIVAL).

The now well-established Sundays of the "OTTOBRATA", an important cultural fair event. The Ottobrata Zafferanese combines the exhibition of typical products with cultural events of great importance: conferences and debates on issues relating to the protection and recognition of the quality of local products, the screening of documentaries on Etna and its territory, excursions to discover fascinating and magical places, performances by music and dance groups, photographic exhibitions and much more.
