Nice tour that allows you to see the Favara Grande, the crater of Monte Gibele from different angles, the Montagna Grande, which is the "goddaughter" of Gibele and the truly unmissable Benikulà cave.
If it is done in summer, leave at dawn and bring at least 2 liters of water, high risk of dehydration
