Best Luxury Hotels in Catania
You perhaps won’t be familiar with the name of this destination, but you will be familiar with its imposing neighbour, Mount Etna. An ancient port city serving Sicily’s east coast, Catania is found close to the base of the volcano, with trails leading from the city to the summit. If you like seafood you’ll love it here; a fish market, La Pescheria, runs on weekdays providing a buzz to the atmospheric wide central square and furnishing local restaurants with the freshest of Ionian catches. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, incorporating the Piazza del Duomo, Fontana dell Elefante statue and Catania’s cathedral.
