Catania or Taormina?

Jim, we just toured Mt. Etna the end of September. It is spectacular, and well worth the time and cost. I think it is best to approach it from the south, which you can do from either Catania or Taormina. If you are driving there are numerous signs leading you from the A-18 Autostrade. If not driving, taking one of the many tours is probably best. Drivers and tours all park at a base area, from which cable cars take you to the all-terrain vans, which then take you up close to the summit. It's cool.
