It cost 9 euros to take the lift down to the Gorge. Then you could just walk about 100 yards before being turned back. We tried to climb the very steep staircase but it was locked at the top.
The toilets in the cafe were also locked.

Guiden Jessica gav oss en fantastisk dag med mycket information, inte bara kring dagens utflyktsmål utan också om hela ön. Hon brann för sitt ämne, var mycket kunnig och förklarade enkelt o tydligt. En dag att minnas!

Four of us were travelling together and decided to take this tour. It was excellent. Vito (Vitoria) was a terrific driver and tour guide. Mt. Etna is not something you want to take on yourself. We stopped for lunch on the way to our hiking spot, and then spent about an hour hiking to one of the upper reaches of the volcano. Vito provided in depth information about the history of the volcano, pointing out areas that dated from past eruptions. The stop at Alcantara Gorges was also well-managed and interesting, although Etna was certainly the highlight of the day.
