Driving in Catania is not for the faint-hearted . The food is amazing , especially at restaurants near the harbour . I have to mention “Caffè Época “ : amazing pastries and delicious coffee You must visit Taormina and Etna !
Catania is simply one of the world's most lovely cities. Every time I visit I like it more, and want to go back!
It's nice and sunny.
We had a great time in Catania. Lots to see and do. Loads of good restaurants nearby and a lot of good local history to explore. Etna is a must. Taormina was beautiful, as was Ortigia. Would love to go back for longer next time.
My first impressions of Catania weren't that great, as the area around the train station isn't particularly nice. But centre of town, around Via Etnea was lovely. The atmosphere was welcoming, even into the night.
