Catania is the best city if you want to stay in the center of Sicily. It's situated in a special location for those who want to make a visit to the magnificent Mount Etna. At the foot of the highest volcano in Europe, Catania is built with the unique volcanic rock that gives the city colors and elegant sceneries. The city is near the beautiful Taormina, home of the famous film festival, and the beautiful Syracuse, cradle of Greek civilization, which hosts many of the world-famous scenes from... the movie Malena. Five minutes from Catania there are: Aci Castello and Acitrezza, two old fishing villages that offer an incomparable spectacle, setting of many works of Verga. From the streets of the two towns you can admire the Faraglioni and the island Lachea. more
