It is so amazing to walk around there! And it is also considerably cooler than at sea level<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A second option is to go to the mountains: the higher you go, the cooler it is. In Sicily, you can take a trip to Mount Etna and walk around in the volcanic moonscape filled with craters and hardened streams of lava. Mount Etna is a huge mountain \u2013 3,300 metres high. You can\u2019t get to the very top, but you can drive up to 1,900 metres. At that altitude, it is considerably cooler, so don\u2019t forget to pack a cardigan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reflective clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t get burned! This sounds easy, but it does still require some attention while on holiday \u2013 especially with young children. For the little ones, you may want to consider purchasing reflective clothes to protect them.
