Buongiorno,
You trip to Sicily sounds interesting.
Firstly, Geraci Siculo is in the Madonie Mountains, about 37 kms south of Castelbuono. There is no direct public transport to this village. You can, however, take a bus from Castelbuono but they are not very frequent. You can reach Castelbuono by train from Catania with one or two stops depending upon which service you use.
Check out: orario.trenitalia.com/b2c/TimeTable? - just type in Catania and Castelbuono for train times. The journey takes between 4.5 and 5 hours. I cannot give you any info about the bus service from Castelbuono to Geraci Siculo, but be assured, there is a service.
There is no public transport from Catania to Mount Etna, but you can take guided tours.

For this trip, I would personally rent a car for the day and drive to Etna.
Ignore the reference to Mount Etna - misread your posting

Visit the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento just before the light starts to go. The 'Festa del mandorlo in fiori' in Agrigento. There were people in brightly coloured clothing from much of the world in procession through the city and a terrific firework display and concert on the last day - end of second week in february.
One of the main atractives is visiting Mount Etna. You reach the highest acceptable point according to safety conditions by bus that links the origin of the old funicular that was climbing from approx. 2000 mts. to 3000. Trekking is also possible but not advisable if the day is hot. On the photo a crater on the way up to Etna.
Catania city may on first impressions look like quite a dirty city but look past this and spend some time wandering about.
Piazza Duomo is beautiful with the church, fountain and elephant monument.
On a Saturday evening you may find about 3 or 4 wedding parties getting picutres taken here
Follow on up Via Etna which can be really busy and here you have all the designer shops with lovely little restaurants just off it
