This charming destination has a unique architecture, large squares, boulevards and a beautiful harbour. The magnificent historic city centre is even on the UNESCO World Heritage List...
Catania is the second biggest city in Sicily, wedged in between the Etna volcano in the West and the Mediterranean in the East. It is a bustling city with bars, cafés, cars sounding their horns and narrow alleyways. If you find it too hot, you can withdraw to the cooler climate of the surrounding mountain villages or take a refreshing dip in the sea.
