Summer in Catania: three unmissable experiences

According to eDreams, one of the best online travel agencies and leader in Europe, Catania is the most desired destination by travellers from all over the world.

Between the seaside and mountains, Catania offers a thousand possibilities and you cannot be bored in here, especially in summer.

Here are three unmissable experiences:

• A walk in town: if you walk in the city centre you’ll come over baroque buildings. The Benedictine Monastery, the Ursino Castle, Massimo Bellini Theatre and the university area are some unmissable destinations. But Catania has a wonderful peculiarity: the fish market. It’s one of the eldest in Italy and you should visit it in the morning, to enjoy all its features and naturally look at people working.
• Underground Catania: if you want to have a tour in the hottest hours of the day, you will be relieved in the underground Catania. The starting point is Piazza Stesicoro and then going through the sixteenth century area of Catania, which, in 1693, was covered by lava. Moreover, under Piazza Duomo, you may visit Terme Achilliane, Roman baths built in the third century A.D.
• Swimming: in your stay, you cannot but enjoy diving in the sea. Among the unmissable beaches, “La Riviera dei Ciclopi” is one of the most attractive places: from Homer to Verga, it was an area where legends took place, where the sea is the perfect background.
