Overview

Catania is built from the black stone of Etna, which towers over it to the north. With your guide you explore the centre on foot: Piazza del Duomo with the Elephant Fountain, the Roman amphitheatre, the baroque palaces, Castello Ursino and the fish market, with stops to taste arancini and other street specialities.

One day is for the volcano. You go up to about 1,900 metres, with viewpoints, a stretch on foot along the trails and a visit to a lava cave, then a tasting of local products.

Private city break: 3 nights in a hotel with breakfast, transfers, a walking tour with street food and an Etna excursion with a guide.
