The
ideal place for those who want the best of both worlds- the throbbing
vitality of a city centre holiday whilst at the same time being able
to relax with leisurely strolls along the sea front or in the Borgo
- the old part of town - which is just a stone's throw away or in San
Giovanni Li Cuti, the fisherman's port in the city centre. We
are ideally situated for exploring the rest of this incredible island.
Catania is on the slopes of Mount Etna, visible from everywhere. Further
afield, we are just 40 km from Taormina, whilst Siracusa is only 60
km. Acicastello and Acitrezza are 6 km or 10 minutes away- and even
Palermo is only 90 minutes by motorway, whilst a whole day excursion
to Agrigento is well worth considering. And we haven't even mentioned
Piazza Armerina (75 minutes), Ragusa, Modica and Noto.Children will
love Etnaland, (16 km) the largest water park in Italy with its marvellous
rides, zoo and Dinosaur Park. The more adventurous can enjoy mountain
walks on Etna, or even paragliding and adventure sports just 20 minutes
away. Archaeological sites, whether prehistoric, Greek or Roman, are
dotted everywhere and reflect the island's 3,500 years of human inhabitation.
