CATANIA

The Port of Catania, located in the beating heart of the city and framed by the striking silhouette of Mount Etna, is the ideal starting point to discover the countless wonders of Eastern Sicily. Thanks to the privileged location of the docks, right next to the city center, it offers cruise passengers the opportunity to maximize their time, enjoying a rich and stress-free experience perfectly tailored to their ship's schedule.

By choosing to explore the city, you will dive into an atmosphere unlike any other, characterized by the spectacular architecture of Sicilian Baroque, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and made unmistakable by the use of dark volcanic stone. Strolling through the streets of the historic center, you can admire the magnificent Piazza del Duomo with its famous Elephant Fountain (the "Liotru," symbol of Catania), be swept away by the colors and sounds of the historic Pescheria (the picturesque fish market), and walk along the elegant Via Etnea amidst noble palaces and the ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. 

If you wish to venture beyond the urban borders, an excursion to Mount Etna is an absolute must: you can experience the thrill of reaching the slopes of Europe's highest active volcano, walking among spectacular extinct craters and lunar expanses of solidified lava. Alternatively, you can be enchanted by the renowned town of Taormina, strolling along Corso Umberto to reach the magnificent Ancient Greek Theatre overlooking the Ionian Sea, or discover the mythological beauty of the Cyclops Riviera, among the charming seaside villages of Aci Trezza and Aci Castello.

Whatever your choice, we will take care of every logistical detail. We provide transfers in modern and comfortable vehicles, the passion of our expert local guides, and, as always, the absolute guarantee of a safe and punctual return to your cruise ship.
