What To Expect

Catania

Our journey begins with a visit to Catania, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its original Baroque style and its particular streets built in black lava stone! You can admire its imposing Cathedral, a symbol of devotion to its patron Saint Agatha, and the Piazza del Duomo where "U’ Liotru "stands, the statue of a lava stone elephant and symbol of the city.

Aci Castello

At the end, we will take a panoramic tour in the direction of the famous Riviera dei Ciclopi until you get to Aci Castello whose name derives from its Norman Castle that you will have the opportunity to photograph.

Aci Trezza

Subsequently, we will move to Aci Trezza, whose panorama is dominated by the famous three "Faraglioni", islands of volcanic origin in the shape of columns rich in myths and legends. Aci Trezza is also famous for its relationship with the writer Giovanni Verga who chose this place to set the story of his famous novel "I Malavoglia" (La Casa del Nespolo).
