View Cruise DealCatania, a bustling city on the eastern coast of Sicily, is a dynamic blend of history, culture and natural beauty. With its Baroque architecture, vibrant markets and views of Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, Catania invites travellers to explore its rich heritage, savour its cuisine and immerse themselves in its lively atmosphere.
Just a short drive south of Catania lies Syracuse (Siracusa), a city with a history dating back over 2,700 years. Syracuse was once one of the most powerful and influential cities in the ancient world, and its rich archaeological heritage is a testament to its past glory. Begin your exploration of Syracuse in the Parco Archeologico della Neapolis, an archaeological park that houses some of the city's most remarkable ancient sites. Here, you can wander through the awe-inspiring Greek Theatre, which dates back to the 5th century BC and is still used for performances today. Nearby, the Roman Amphitheatre offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Roman entertainment.
One of the most iconic natural wonders in Sicily is Mount Etna, Europe's tallest and most active volcano. Its imposing presence looms over Catania and the surrounding region, offering visitors the opportunity to witness the power and beauty of volcanic activity up close. Numerous guided tours and excursions are available from Catania that take you to the slopes of Mount Etna. As you ascend, you'll pass through lush vineyards, fertile landscapes and picturesque villages.
The fertile slopes of Mount Etna have given rise to one of Italy's most exciting wine regions, known simply as the Etna Wine Region. This volcanic terroir has gained recognition for its unique and flavorful wines, characterised by minerality and complexity. Several wineries in the Etna region offer guided tours and tastings, allowing you to savour wines made from indigenous grape varieties like Nerello Mascalese and Carricante. These wineries often provide a backdrop of vineyards set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Etna.
