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.
