Hala says
The way to do Etna if you've only got one afternoon. A half-day 4x4 up to 1,900 m (the Silvestri craters, the 2002 lava flow, the old quarries on the north side), then back down to one of the volcano's natural-wine producers, Pietradolce, Passopisciaro, or Tenuta di Fessina, for a sunset tasting. Looser, slower, and less of a slog than the summit hike, and you can drink at the end of it.
