The Circumetnea Railway

One of the best ways to see the rumbling power of Mount Etna in Sicily, the Circumetnea Train follows a route encircling this awesome stratovolcano, stopping along the way at some quaint stations. It begins at Catania on the coast before heading inland on a semi-circle route which brings its passengers back round to the coast to the harbour town of Riposto. The Circumetnea is a narrow-gauge train, and against the background of the white peak of Etna, this railway is well worth a visit.
