Here you will have the feeling of walking on a live and pulsating volcano, surrounded by fumes, gases and the intense yellow color of sulfur. From the crater you will have a breathtaking view of the Ionian coast and the various villages that lie at the foot of this majestic mountain. The itinerary also includes a visit to ancient eruptive cones and vast lava fields. Return to the starting point by 4x4 jeep and cable car.
