Highlights
A trip to an unknown Sicily, unknown to the majority of tourists, away from the usual tourist spot. A true Sicily to discover and enjoy! The small village of Buscemi, with the houses of the historical center faithfully restored as they were more than a century ago, to let you experience a leap back in time to understand how life took place at that time. Palazzolo Acreide, located in the Sicilian hinterland, in the middle of Iblei mountains. To reach it, you must travel a very beautiful landscape with panoramic views completely different from those that can be seen along the coast. The town is enchanting, with some of the most beautiful baroque churches of Sicily, so much that it was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2002. Marzamemi is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, where everything smells of the sea between old stone houses, wooden boats and picturesque views. The perfect place where to taste the authentic flavors of the Mediterranean sea.

About Catania
Catania, on Sicily's east coast, is a black lava-stone city beneath Mount Etna, with a noisy fish market, Baroque squares and a long seafront.
Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, the active volcano whose lava reached the city in 1669, and an earthquake in 1693 flattened it. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the Baroque style, it uses black lava stone for walls and paving, set against white limestone. The Piazza del Duomo has an elephant of lava stone carrying an obelisk, the cathedral of Sant'Agata, and a fountain.
Top-ranked sights in Catania: Piazza Duomo, Via Crociferi (Via dei Crociferi) , Gambino Winery (Vini Gambino).
