Aci Trezza is famous for being a small fishing village. Here it is still possible to watch small boats with lamps go fishing in the shallows at night.
The flavour of the fish brought back by these fishermen, perhaps purchased directly from the Fish Market next to the port, is not easily forgotten....
This is certainly one of the most beautiful sights offered by the Etnean landscape.
The view of the Stacks, with the sun rising in the middle, will certainly be worth waking up at dawn....
On the edge of the Sciara you will hear nothing but explosions, followed a few seconds later by blocks and volcanic bombs rolling down the slope. Listen closely to this rolling, trying to catch the moment when the blocks fall into the sea....
The Sciara del Fuoco is ideal for appreciating the view of the 4 natural elements: the fire of the volcanic products; the earth of the Sciara; the blue sea water and, not to be underestimated, a very pure air that carries the brackish sea air....

Right at the point of emission it has a very intense yellow colour, nearing white. This yellow then gradually gets darker until it ...
