Your tour begins with a pleasant drive through the Ionian Coastline until the city of Catania. Situated at the foot of Mt. Etna, Catania is Sicily's second largest city and capital of the Eastern part of the island: it has suffered an endless series of natural disasters, from the violent eruptions of Mt. Etna to fierce earthquakes causing massive destruction.
As a result of these natural catastrophes, the city was in a state of reconstruction for several decades. The great quantities of black lava and limestone were put to use as the city was rebuilt in the Baroque architectural style. You will stop in town where the guide will lead you through the marvellous Catania streets lined up with ancient buildings of historical importance and churches belonging to different artistical periods. Highlights will include the Roman Amphitheatre, the Collegiata Church (the former Royal Chapel), the University Palace, and the Cathedral. Enjoy time at your leisure for shopping or for your lunch before to return to the pier.

Special Notes:

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.

Medical Restriction:

Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair, those with mobility limitations, vision or hearing impairments.
