It does but we were on a coach from the Cruise Terminal at Palermo I think. Can see Mount Etna and one of the Greek Islands from the town, no head for heights so definitely no cable car. Think the beach resort at the foot of the mountain is Nexus.

Took my Mrs and the crew to talk me into snorkeling near Musgrave Island. I had floats on every limb, and a floating jacket on. Stood on the back of the little boat looking like a right dick I thought fuck it and jumped in. Giant fucking turtles swimming around blew my mind. They had to drag me out of..

I've not been to Garda but I'm sure they're not too dissimilar. Incredible scenery.

Places like Santorini, the Amalfi Coast, Queenstown in New Zealand all rank highly for me, but the best of the lot was Boracay in the Philippines just under a year ago.
Sunsets were incredible, the beaches and the sea pristine, and I had a top floor hotel room/studio with huge balcony and hot-tub that gave sweeping views over White Beach and beyond. Felt like you were on top of the whole island. Spent 6 days there and waking up to that view every morning really was something else.

Stayed on Sirmione two years ago as I worked on Garda back in my 20s so wanted to return. Stunning place and would highly recommend it.
