The tour takes you through the beautiful little fishing towns of the Ionian coast, about 30 minutes drive from Catania.
AciCastello with its imposing Norman Fortress, built of lava stone overlooking the sea. Acitrezza, a fishing village which is a blend of mythology and natural beauty. ‘I Faraglioni’ the ‘mythological rocks’ flung by the Cyclop Polifemo against Ulysses. With its crystal – clear waters, this is a real sea–lover’s paradise, ideal for scuba diving or boat trips. In Summer, night tours are available by moonlight and the light of the ‘Lampare’ (typical Fisherman’s boats lit by lamps), finishing up at one of the many delicious ‘Seafood Trattorie’ along this beautiful coastline.
Acireale: famous for its carnival and ice–cream, it is worth a stroll through the City Centre with its Baroque architecture.
Santa Caterina: a fascinating town overlooking the sea, where on a summer night it is hard to distinguish the stars from the ‘Lampare’ (typical Fisherman’s boats lit by lamps),
The Roman Stairway: An old pathway that takes you back to another time with beautiful panoramic views of the Ionian coastline.
