Overview of your Catania tour:

Sicily is a melting pot of cultures, and Catania shows all of them in its spectacular historical center. Greeks, Romans, Arabian, Normands, Swabians, Spanish, between the others, called home this place sheltered by the Volcano Etna. All of the spectacular buildings we can vaunt nowadays are the result of their work, combined with the geology of the area (earthquakes and volcanic phenomena) during a 3-millennia period. For me is an honor to be able to present this really surprising city, full of colors and characters that you'll remember forever! The tour consists of exploring under the ground level, into some lava caves, going in and out the city walls, over the top of a spectacular baroque church, into breathtaking buildings more than 2000 years old and magnificent fortress-cathedral survived to assault of humans and nature. I'll have the chance to taste some of the famed local specialties, between historical "celebrating" markets and famous bars.   You'll get the real essence of the city of Catania.

Your Catania tour itinerary

The itinerary consists of a relaxed and customizable walk around the city center, including the "must" visit sights and many other lesser-known ones, but equally surprising. - The starting point of the itinerary is Piazza Duomo and the cathedral of Catania. - Very close, is the spectacular fish market "la Pescheria". - In this area is also a group of sights, including the Greek-roman theatre, the Odeon, a rooftop point of view and a roman thermal site. - After a snack (or probably more than one!) in this area, we will move on the avenue, part of the post-earthquake (1693) urban plan to the Roman Amphitheater, the Catania's black Colosseum. - Some underground sights. - The most scenic roads with baroque explosions. - The lava Castle and its incredible story related to the volcano Etna. Before heading back to the starting point. One last culinary stop is "necessary" before the end of the excursion! In case of rain, is possible to run the tour, thanks to the high number of indoor and sheltered sites.
