The variety of attractions and entertainment options available make it a great destination for a day of fun and relaxation. One of the highlights of Etnaland is its range of water rides and pools. The water park provides a refreshing escape, especially during hot days. The variety of slides and pools cater to different age groups, making it a family-friendly environment. The park also boasts a good selection of amusement rides and shows, providing entertainment for visitors of all ages. The efforts put into maintaining the rides and ensuring safety standards are commendable, contributing to an overall positive experience. However, there are a few areas that could be improved to elevate the park's rating. While the park does offer diverse attractions, some areas might benefit from additional theming and ambiance enhancement. Furthermore, the dining options could be more varied, with a focus on offering a wider range of food choices to cater to different tastes. In summary, it provides an enjoyable day out with its mix of water and amusement attractions. While there is room for improvement in terms of theming and dining variety, the overall experience is positive and warrants a solid 4-star rating.

Wonderful place for all the family

Very nice

Great aquapark

(Translated by Google) Staff very attentive to ensuring that we had a good time. Very attentive when it comes to children. New things that make me want to go back! (Original) Personnel très attentif à ce que nous passions un bon moment. Très à l'écoute en ce qui concerne les enfants. Des nouveautés qui me donnent envie d'y retourner !

(Translated by Google) Great fun for the whole family, with adrenaline rushes guaranteed, depending on the attractions. For those in a more relaxed mood, it's simply pure relaxation. There's something for everyone. It's worth bringing water shoes, but not with black soles – some slides don't allow them on. I recommend this place. (Original) Super rozrywka dla całej rodziny, wyrzut adrenaliny gwarantowany, w zależności od atrakcji. Dla bardziej stonowanych nastrojów po prostu niezły relaks. Każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Warto mieć ze sobą buty do wody, ale nie z czarną podeszwą - na niektóre zjeżdżalnie w takich nie wpuszczają. Polecam to miejsce

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well-equipped amusement park. I recommend purchasing tickets online to avoid waiting in line at the ticket booths. (Original) Parco divertimenti bello e ben attrezzato. Consiglio di acquistare i biglietti online per non fare la fila alle casse

Great views across the valley and towards Etna

Well it's a castle with no great expectations but it's worth having a look and were it is located there is lovely views

Absolutely fantastic, huge, Norman castle, in their Romanesque style ( really, Norman style). Wish it were open when I visited!!!!!

The castle was closed when we went. We went to look at the view and the castle ground was littered with an extremely high amount of broken glass sadly.

The road go to the castello is very nice . For me it is more valuable than the castello.

Awesome docent. Well kept.

Great viewpoint to mount Etna!

Super quality olive oil and very helpful owner.

We have visited Oleificio Gulino on our trip to Sicily and had the best experience ever! Not to mention the highest quality olive oil. We got to get a tour of the production factory and tasting experience. Bought a few different kinds of olio. Now we run out and emailed to order more it came in few days, all the way from Sicily! Best experience ever! Thank you!

Great olive tasting

(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience. Luciano really good at explaining and showing all the olive processing steps. An oil mill that has existed for 5 generations who have been able to develop and grow a truly wonderful business in the heart of Sicily. Excellent products, you can also purchase by writing to them directly. Memorial oil tasting. Everyone is very kind. Absolutely worth trying! (Original) Esperienza stupenda. Luciano davvero bravo nel spiegare e mostrare tutti i passaggi di lavorazione delle olive. Un oleificio che vive da ormai 5 generazioni che hanno saputo sviluppare e fare crescere una attività nel cuore della Sicilia davvero stupenda. Ottimi prodotti, possibile anche l acquisto scrivendo loro direttamente. Degustazione olio da memoriale. Tutti gentilissimi. Da provare assolutamente!

(Translated by Google) We did a tour with tasting at this olive oil maker. It is an old family business that produces high quality olive oil. We were received very warmly, there was an informative film and clear explanation of the entire process and tour. During the tasting, it was well explained how to best do this and how you can recognize the quality of olive oil. There were delicious snacks with products that were made and sold locally. A very fun experience, also to do with children! (Original) We deden een tour met proeverij bij deze olijfolie maker. Het is een oud familiebedrijf, dat hoog kwaliteit olijfolie produceert. We werden heel hartelijk ontvangen, er was een informatieve film en duidelijke uitleg over uit hele proces en rondleiding. Tijdens het proeven werd goed uitgelegd hoe je dat het beste kunt doen en waar je de kwaliteit van olijfolie aan kan herkennen. Er waren heerlijke hapjes met producten die lokaal gemaakt en verkocht werden. Een heel leuke ervaring, ook om met kinderen te doen!

(Translated by Google) I visited the place and it is the best olive oil and harissa. I do not regret it and I got a certificate (Original) انا زرت المكان و من افضل زيت زيتون و الهريسة لا تندم علي ذلك و متحصل علي شهادة

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, olive oils are a nectar, not to be missed. (Original) Accueil très chaleureux les huiles d'olives sont un nectar,à ne pas manquer.

A visit to Castello di Donnafugata in Ragusa is truly a magical experience. I highly recommend purchasing the full package, as it allows you to enjoy every part of this unique site. The Costume Hall is a real highlight, showcasing a fascinating collection of costumes from different eras – a journey through history brought to life with elegance and detail. The castle itself is beautifully preserved, giving you a glimpse into its grandeur and the stories hidden within its walls. Stepping outside, the gardens are simply outstanding. Take your time to explore the lush greenery, the charming pathways, and the grand terrace, which offers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. A must-try activity is the labyrinth in the garden – fun, a little mysterious, and perfect for both adults and children. From history and culture to nature and play, Castello di Donnafugata offers it all. A place where the past meets beauty, making it an unforgettable stop in Ragusa. 🌿🏰✨

Absolute must see. Beautiful costume museum and 29 well furnished rooms to get a sense how Sicilian nobles lived. Charming garden with a labyrinth.

A great experience! I recommend this castle. For a small fee, you are busy for at least 3 hours. A very interesting & informative costume display, a big tour inside the castle rooms with very detailed info panels that guide you and a very nice and big garden to wander in. The garden especially is very attractive and entertaining. Access is given even to the labyrinth of the castle. I hope they will start working on upkeeping/restoring the rooms in the castle to prevent more decay, it would be a pity otherwise.

So interesting history and so many things to do there. It was definitely one of the highlights for our trip. You pay only 4€ to go inside the castle and another 3€ to go at the gardens and higher at the tower. For me it's a must visit place!

Wonderful place where you can easily spend the whole day, especially if you have kids. Both the neo-gothical castle and the surrounding areas offer various activities and things to see and learn. Part of the ground floor of the castle is dedicated to a fashion exposition that has many original historic garments and dresses on display. Its well worth visiting if only from the historical perspective. The self-guided tour of the castle itself will take you through many different rooms containing various pieces of vintage furniture and decorations. Some of the rooms are nicely restored, but some are in dire need of maintenance. Afterwards, we were directed to visit the vast castle gardens, which are beautiful and well maintained and feature interesting structures, like the intricate labyrinth. In addition, a small cafe/souvenir shop is located directly in the castle, while a couple of restaurants and a gelateria can be found just at the entrance to the castle. However, we didn't visit either of them. There is also a small cattle farm and even a tiny playground behind the restaurants. If arriving by car, you can park for free on the access road, but you stand a better chance to park on the paid parking for €2.50/day per vehicle. Overall, we enjoyed the visit to the Donnafugata cadtle and definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

A fantastic Castello of history and also the Meseo of Costumes was such a great insite to what was worn dating back many hundreds of years. Very original furniture which was a pleasure to see first hand. The massive gardens that surrounded the Castello was great too

Very good experience; castle is nice outside, rooms inside are very well preserved….it seems a little royal palace. Each room has a description. Garden is pleasant, it is not huge but you can spend time outside and enjoy…also the labyrinth.

This location is very beautiful and unique. Regrettably, the area is littered with plastic waste from the sea. It's disheartening to observe such a unique place squandered due to a lack of proper protection and conservation for future generations. It's essential to raise awareness about environmental protection and encourage responsible waste management to preserve this beautiful place for future generations to enjoy.

At the end of April the place is very calm and quiet. There is a lot of space with tiny sand. There was some rubbish, though.

Beautiful sandy beach, clear, blue water. We were there on a weekday and met only a few people by the sea. However, there is a lot of garbage around, the showers were not working (maybe they were elsewhere too), there are no tracks, so after crossing the dunes, look for a way to get back.

very pleasant beach, clean, calm and warm waters. it is just a pity that even though it is inside a reserve, you can still find some rubbish around. but unfortunately i guess that this seems to be the case for most beaches i visited in sicily so far

A spectacular sandy beach greets you after a pleasant stroll through a forest with plenty of well-placed picnic benches. But beware the strong tide - stay in the shallows unless you're a very able swimmer. Free entry, and we weren't stopped from bringing our little dog with us.

Very nice beach -almost no trash as usual in sicily. 5 mins of walk are worth ! Easy to find. sweetwater showers and toilets on the way

Secluded, sandy beach that you reach by walking through a beautiful pine tree forest! So perfect. Excellent for kids and calm water to play in. No amenities so bring a picnic

These people need an actual museum professional to run this place. Some amazing stuff but no descriptions on a majority of items. No history really and no details. Everything in Italian only. Not *nearly* as much stuff as you would expect. Very little really. I'd say it's not worth the 5 euros, but let the buyer be 'ware.

No information about closing museum but the doors were shut down

I felt like the exposition could be much more! Feels like the best pieces are not on display. The structure needs immediate attention, parts look like they have serious structural damages! Ladies at the biglietteria were extra nice, complimenti! The price of 4€ is reasonable.

Pretty shabby museum. Don’t go in with high expectations. The signs are in Italian only, so might be better for those who read Italian?

This museum is in an old theatre and is a bit unloved. It's old fashioned with a confusing layout, but looks like it's being slowly renovated. Some fabulous exhibits of ceramics through the ages in Sicily (could be labelled better though). Well worth a visit and a must for ceramic lovers. Only €4 entry.

Visited with a group of nine. Could not change 50 euros for first person. We could make the 8 euros entrance for 2 with small change but apparently this is not legal tender in Italy because it was refused and virtually thrown back at us. So none of us went in! Very rude and poor for tourism.

Found some interesting and very elaborate ceramic artefacts in the museum. The nearby public park surrounded by hundreds of different vases, one different from the other, was intriguing. Catch the little train in the main square and make the 20 minute ride through the narrow streets. Some amazing elaborate buildings. And plenty of shops to buy this very unique ceramics artwork.

Public Garden Villa Comunale, Caltagirone. According to me, that's one of the most beautiful garden in Italy. Designed during the end of of the XIX century by Basil (an architect).

Beautiful with upper level well kept but bottom zone and aviaries abandoned which is a pitty. Kiosk ok but no umbrellas on tables.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful public garden from what I remember of visits in other periods. Too bad it was now closed for restoration. (Original) Giardino Pubblico bellissimo per quello che mi ricordo di visite in altri periodi. Peccato adesso fosse chiusa per restauro.

Great place to walk around and pass some time

(Translated by Google) A beautiful villa, with a unique terracotta balcony (recently restored), and a moving bandstand in the center of the immense square. I was truly struck by the view from the entrance toward the bandstand. It's a shame it was closed and not accessible from the inside. A pleasant break on the benches, thanks to a pleasant breeze, is a pleasant experience. The only drawback is the lack of working public fountains. (Original) Bellissima villa, unica la balconata in terracotta (restaurata recentemente) ed emozionante il palchetto della musica al centro dell'immensa piazza. Mi ha veramente colpito il colpo d'occhio all'arrivo dall'ingresso verso il palchetto. Peccato che fosse chiuso e non visitabile dall'interno. Piacevole sosta sulle panchine, grazie ad un piacevole venticello. Unica pecca la mancanza di fontane pubbliche funzionanti

(Translated by Google) Beautiful garden, a corner of the city where you can spend a few hours relaxing, it could be 5 stars, but there are some small details that need fixing, such as the fountains and the seats that need repainting. (Original) Bellissimo giardino, un angolo della città dove poter trascorrere qualche ora di relax , petrebbe essere fa 5 stelle, ma ci sono dei piccoli particolari da sistemare, tipo le fontanelle e i sedili da riverniciare.

Gorgeous and unique staircase with beautiful ceramics! The photos don't make it justice! It is lovely! We adventured ourselves to go all the way up and then down.

We actually planned our visit to coincide with the St. James Festival as part of our Youth Jubilee program. Being right at the front row for the St. James procession was something I’ll never forget. The energy, the devotion, the scene, it was really something special. The area was packed with people, both locals and tourists, all celebrating together. Shops stayed open late and there was this beautiful sense of unity. Honestly, I just feel incredibly blessed to have been part of it. It was one of those rare, meaningful moments where everything comes together.

This is in Caltagirone. The famous Scalinata. It is thrilling to watch. Every step is decorated with ceramics. It was quiet in early July. On the 25th July it is decorated with lanterns for the feast.

Beautiful, historic area. Challenging climb ,best to enjoy the ceramics and pace yourself

The Staircase of Santa María del Monte in Caltagirone is a breathtaking cascade of 142 steps, each decorated with hand-painted ceramic tiles that narrate Sicily’s artistic and cultural heritage from the 10th to the 20th century. Walking up feels like ascending through layers of history, where every riser is a window into the island’s soul. The staircase is not just an architectural masterpiece but a living symbol of Caltagirone’s centuries-old ceramics tradition. Unfortunately, we visited on a Sunday, when nearly all the artisan workshops and shops were closed, leaving us without the chance to experience the vibrant craftsmanship that usually brings the staircase to life

142 historical beautiful stairs. Very nice overview from the top

Charming place, great view from the top, almost no turists in the evening.

Some astounding pieces from the site of Morgantina, with fascinating information about the international collaboration that took place between archeologists and curators to identify and return pieces stolen and sold to collectors decades ago. The story of the head of Hades (nicknamed 'Bluebeard') is particularly interesting!

A visit of the archeological Museum of Aidone is a must for all those that take a tour to Morgantina, as it provides much needed context and important information im regards to the life and socio-cultural context of the ancient city of Morgsntins at the archeological park. The museum is housed in the former monastery of the Cappucini which was build between 1611 and 1613 AD and was dedicated to Saint Francis. The entrance is located in the former church that is now also used as a meeting room. The museum hosts numerous artifacts from the Greko-Roman city of Morgantina that was founded around 1000 BC and from the Citatell that is the ancient site of a prehistoric town of the bronze age that dates back to around 2100 to 1800 BC. The most famous artefact exhibited is the Dea di Morgantina. A female statue that probably depicts the goddess Demeter and was sculptured between 425 and 400 BC. The statue was discovered by tombraiders and secretely removed and later sold to the Getty Museum and exhibited in the Getty Villa at Malibu in southern California. It was not until 2011 that this important and wonderful artefact was returned to Aidone, where it is now exhibited close to the place where it was originally located. The museum is usually open every day. However, on certain holidays it might be closed and it should be checked beforehand if it is indeed open. There is a combination ticket that costs €14.00 and includes a visit to the Museum in Aidone, the archeological park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina. This is the package that I would recommend as it gives access to three very important and locally close venues that one does not want to miss. Discounts are given to those between 18 and 25 years of age and teachers. For those younger than 18, the entrance is free. One should plan at the very least one hour to examine the exhibitions and appreciate the significance of the displayed artefacts that reach back to the early bronze age.

Top autochthonous archaeology

The museum is well laid out, but it does not have a lot of artifacts. If one is visiting Morgantina site then it's probably worth it, otherwise it is not.

Cannot miss the goddess statue!

Nice small museum that shows what was excavated in the near Morgantina archaeological site. The most famous feature is the "Venus", that was for years in the Paul Getty Museum in LA and was recently given back. The silvers are now back, but they have to "travel" the world every 4 years because of an international agreement. Ask for the joint ticket that allows to also enter Morgantina site and Piazza Armerina Villa del casale. The three sites are very close.

Nice little museum with some great artifacts from Morgantina. Well worth a visit, especially if you get the combined ticket with Morgantina and Villa Romana del Casale. There is some spectacular gold jewelry and I was interested to see the painted busts. The only downside was that over half of the display notices were only in Italian.

Sicilia Outlet Village is a well-situated outdoor shopping center in the heart of Sicily, perfect for a stop on your way from Palermo or Cefalù to Catania. We visited on a weekday morning, and it was refreshingly uncrowded. With a wide range of stores, including high-end brands. The prices offer some savings, though they aren’t the deep discounts some might expect. There are also a few restaurants and cafes to relax in between shopping, and tax refunds are available through Global Blue. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable spot for a shopping break in Sicily!

Sicilia Outlet Village is a must-visit destination for shopping lovers. It features a wide range of world-famous brands at amazing good prices. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the village-style design is stunning – clean, spacious, and beautifully organized. A perfect spot for a stylish shopping day in Sicily!

Outlet Sicilian Village really impressed me — it’s clean, beautifully designed, and very well organized. There’s a wide selection of well-known brands with genuinely good discounts! 👌

Pretty good designer outlet. Very well laid out, easy to shop. Great customer service. Could find a few good value purchases. Good range of stores.

Sicilia Outlet Village was a fantastic stop for us, providing a perfect opportunity to stretch our legs and do some great shopping between destinations. It's a large, well-organized center that makes for a pleasant break. Brand Selection: The village has an excellent array of international and designer brands. Our teenage daughter was especially happy, as many of her favorites were available, including Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, and Nike. There truly is something for everyone, making it a satisfying shopping destination. Atmosphere: The layout is pleasant and easy to navigate, making the walking around enjoyable even if you aren't shopping. It offers a good selection of dining and cafe options for a break. If you're looking to score some deals on major brands or just need a quality pit stop during a long drive across Sicily, this outlet village is a recommended choice.

Very large mall with lots of brands especially Italians

Very nice place to visit. Has a children's playground that's in the shade. Has multiple stores of A brands and a big chunk of A+ brands. It's cheaper, not stupendously cheap. Parking is a breeze and if you have kids, you can park your car under a canopy. The place is very clean and when I visited, it was 35c, they had these poles that atomized water, my kids loved it and it cooled them down as well. It was one of the biggest outlet village's I've ever visited.

Only half of the exhibition is visible .The rest is because of damage by rainwater or construction work for visitors not reachable. A lttle bit disapointing for visitors.

Greek civilization artefacts in very good condition. The island was a Greek colony. I’m not giving 5 stars for the lack of english language and lack of an english guide tour. No AC. Crazy hit in the summer. Maybe it’s just temporary.

More than expected, the archeological museum showcases a good collection of ancient objects. The terrace offers a good view of the Greek acropolis just beside.

The whole place was set up for walking in a certain direction. Best part was the wing with all the coins. Two gentleman did not allow our group to see the column because one of the men had to unlock the gate but neither would. Our group was told to take photos from the balcony almost 100 yards from the item we came to see.

Employees who really don't care , flickering lights that don't let you see the exhibits , an image of abandonment which the great treasures that are stored in do not deserve. Shame on the local authorities for not preserving their ancient heritage.

Regional Archaeological Museum of Gela can be considered together with Siracusa, Palermo, Agrigento, Catania among the most important in southern Italy and in the Mediterranean. There are contents, archaeological finds, inscriptions, coins, architectural elements and much more from various periods from prehistory to the Middle Ages. However, the collection of the classical and Greek era is impressive. Unmissable visit for tourists who want to discover Sicily and relive some of its most significant testimonies. Welcome, I recommend to visit the museum with a local guide. :)

one of the things to visit in Gela together with the Acropolis! the doric column left brings back all the idea of where the temple of demetra/ceres was before. Walking around the acropolis is very suggestive especially during events inside.

Absolutely worth a visit — one of the true highlights of my trip to Sicily. The site is easy to walk through and very well signposted, with plenty of information to help you appreciate its history. I read about the place beforehand, which I highly recommend unless you plan to rent an audio guide. As in other historic landmarks, you may find guides offering their services at the entrance. Most of the site is covered, making it comfortable to explore even on a hot, sunny day. A fascinating journey into Roman history that you shouldn’t miss.

A remarkable place, not to be missed. We read the warnings about tour groups getting in the way but had no problems arriving at about 10.30am when there were already ten tour buses in the car park. Everyone has to take the same narrow route on platforms above the mosaics. You can wait for others to move on or you can push your way ahead, but it is best just to "go with the flow". We completed our day with a visit to Caltagirone, interesting to see the ceramics everywhere around the town.

Fantastic place with the most incredible collection of mosaics. If you don’t like mosaics or you’re not interested in Roman history it would be boring but for the quality and quantity of mosaics it is absolutely worth a visit. It was a long drive from Siracusa and quite long from Catania with some narrow roads but it was worth it in my view. Good parking on site and a decent enough sandwich at the shops near the car park.

Outstandingly well preserved, beautiful, intricate mosaics. The layout of the villa is fascinating, showing the lifestyle of a wealthy Roman. A really great place to visit in the early morning because it gets very crowded, very quickly.

I hadn't heard of this villa before, but I am very glad to have visited this gem 💎 as part of a day trip. From the outside I was not expecting much, but inside.. wow! Some of the most beautiful and well-preserved mosaics I've ever seen. As well as a great example of the ingenious Roman underfloor heating. Not very busy, and we walked around slowly but still managed to see it all within an hour - but I don't know if that was just down to it being a weekday. We also didn't need to book in advance. It is definitely worth a trip.

Magnificient! The amount of mosaics and the level of preservation is staggering. Nothing like it anywhere else and it blows my mind someone was able to enjoy it in all its glory in ancient times. Audio guide while not amazing does a good job explaining the mosaics. It takes 2 to 2.5h to leisurely go through the site with an audio guide. There is a shuttle (sado) that can take you here from the town.

Many people said that this is a must do in Sicily and I have to agree. A lot of history and culture preserved and presented in such an interesting and meaningful way. Although we were lucky that we visited just before the peak hours and before large school groups arrived. The paths are so small that any slightly big amount of people would make the experience miserable. Plan carefully if you want to visit peacefully.

Visited on a rainy day in September. Entry fee of €4 is reasonable, although there wasn’t much information and most of the castle was cordoned off. Climbed up the tower for a fascinating view of the city. Worth the visit.

Open now (April 2025) and a very nice walk about the restored inside and the gorgeous outside sidewalk! Really enjoyed it. Price was €6 per person I think.

Didn't manage to enter the castle as we were late, but looks beautiful from the outside and has spectacular views all around.

Lovely walk around the castle and the views are amazing - we don’t go inside on this occasion as we spent most of the time exploring around about it. Well worth a visit just for the views and walk.

This was a unplanned stop over driving from Syracusa to Palermo. And it was worth it . The castle history and structure was impressive. The view from the tower is the icing on the cake . Entry ticket of 4euro is worth it. Rocca di Cerere is just close by.

Great place and very cheap ticket price. There were some students in site that provided us info about the place. Dont miss it

Great Castle and breathtaking views. Really amazing.

gorgeous honestly, but not always opened

Really beautiful catherdral in Enna. We did not expect it here when we went to visit as other places are beautiful. Some event happening soon too, and some icecream next door.

This is a great find well worth a couple hours travel. We were passing by while travelling to the Temple Valley from Catania and did that 1 hour stop in Enna to take a look at this historical place. It is absolutely magnificent and very well decorated. You can feel both the historical character and the the cultural spirit of the place. Just take a look at the photos... and multiply the feel by 10!

Built in the 13th century, this exemple of medieval architecture is throwing with its majestic bell facade on Piazza Duomo, surrounded by the other 18th century architecture and overlooks the north side of Piazza Mazzini. The three chapels that open into the transept deserve particular attention.

Beautiful Church and wonderful people! Can't speak highly enough about this place!

The town did not impress us much but the cathedral and views made up for that

Probably the most impressive Cathedral and museum at the same time.

Tickets have to be bought from the cafeteria near the parking lot before you start going up the ramp to the castle. It's really worth the visit! The steps up the turret are difficult but duable. The views are breathtaking from every part of the fortress.

An amazing place, well worth going out of your way to get here. The photos can't really do it justice. Carved out of rock and used for many hundred (thousand?) years, the fortress really began to take shape in the Norman period. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes with a grip, as there are some steep sections. The climb to the top is worth it for the 360 degree view. Allow for at least an hour to get a good look around. And, yes, you have to buy your entrance ticket at the bat next door.

Very unique place with view on Etna. Not only the castle in the rock but also some houses (caves) in the town.

Small town, interesting castle ruin. You need to go to the littler bar at the piazza next to the castle to purchase your entry tickets. Really friendly people!

Beautiful place with wonderful views. More of a group of caves than a Castle although there is a turret on site. Could be better signposted as you’re going round. There was no mention of toilets out the back gate so assumed it would be a nice walk but just lead to the loos. Definitely wear sensible shoes and the climb to the turret is uneven. Tickets must be purchased in the nearby bar.

This was truly an amazing Castello that represents an Era of that time and true to what a Castello would be for the people of that community. The narrow steps to the top of the Castello made me look and see how well they have been used through time. At the top is an amazing "aqueduct" created for their wells and baths at the very top. It is a bit of a drive to Sperlinga but well worth it. The "bar" at the tops sells the entrance tickets and the owner is very kind and helpful. There is a museum under the Castello that has great pictures of the hard life in the past. Truly a unique gem of a "Castle/Castello" with posters telling you the history through out your walk through.

5 euros a ticket, but worth every cent! Make sure to get at the cafe/ bar just outside. What an incredible castle, very high with lots of history. Amazing views at the top.

Best place for mountain biking and trekking..

The Royal Palace and Bosco Ficuzza (Ficuzza Forest) is an extremely beautiful place, where art and nature integrates perfectly. The area was born as a hunting reserve for Ferdinand III of Bourbon, in the nineteenth century and presents a great variety of environments. The palace itself stands in front of central park of the small village part of Corleone Municipality and is dominated by the impressive, 3 km long, Rocca Busambra wall. As I like climbing, I had the chance to see the palace both from the ground and the top of Busambra (1613m). I also had the chance to witness a genuine Corleonese matrimonio (wedding), in front of the impressive building. I might be biased, but is one of the most romantic places I've seen!

Very interesting tour, guide spoke excellent language. Apparently it's free, but felt like it was worth money. Can be a bit boring for the kids, but all in all well worth a visit!

Amazing place, but should be visit in cold weather

Beautiful palace but empty rooms in the second floor. The visit in cheap and the architecture is stunning!

Stunning Royal hunting Palace surrounded by a beautiful forest and landscape. Definitely worth to visit

Good guides, very interesting and fascinating location! It's worth the détour, absolutly !!

I would consider this a must watch when being in Palermo! Probably second right after the Palatine Chapel in the royal castle. Stunning interior with mosaics and lots of details! Entry ticket costs 2€ per person and can be bought inside the church!

To me the most beautiful church in Palermo. I very much loved the insides with the mixture of Greek, Arabic and Christian style.

Beautiful church but also very small. Not sure it’s worth the 2.50€ entrance fee.

Completely stunning church. The mosaics are absolutely beautiful and worth coming in to see. Entry price is 2€. If you are looking for the church with the cannoli, it is not this one-- that's the church across the square (Santa Caterina)

Eccentric blend of Norman and Baroque. Must see! Keep your ticket for discounts to other churches

Splendid church, the paintings and the frescos on the ceiling are really splendid, to pass by Palermo and not to visit it would be a mistake, the prices are reasonable 1€ for the students and 2€ for the adults, I recommend you to visit this splendid place.

Magnificent church originally built in 12th century by Normans in Byzantine/Islamic style. Half of it was painted over with baroque scenes, while the other is ancient and much more interesting (adorned with countless mosaics). Here and there you find columns inscribed with Arabic characters. Visitors entry is possible only for a few hours in a few days, so be sure you check its schedule!

I visited this magnificent cathedral in May, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Palermo. The moment you approach the building, you’re struck by its grand façade and unique mix of architectural styles — Norman, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical — all beautifully layered through centuries of history. It’s a place where art, faith, and culture come together in a breathtaking way. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The soaring arches, intricate details, and serene atmosphere create a powerful sense of history. It’s fascinating to walk through and imagine all the generations that have passed here. The royal tombs are especially interesting, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich past. Don’t miss going up to the rooftop — the panoramic view over Palermo and the surrounding mountains is unforgettable. The combination of history, architecture, and scenery makes this place truly special. ✨ I was genuinely happy to visit this incredible site. It’s not just a monument, but a living piece of Palermo’s soul. Absolutely worth a visit!

Set in a beautiful square alongside its museum. The cathedral had a very modern feel. We did get in without waiting in line however, the building was very busy with tour groups. I would recommend heading to crypt which really is fascinating. For those who wish you can also access the upstairs via a dtstcase hidden behind a panel in the main building. For individual travellers tickets can be bought from their ticket office @ 18 Euros. The office also has toilets available at 1 Euro per person.

We came out of a narrow street to the north east and were greeted by this massive building and nice open space. The stonework is so well preserved for 900 years old and the inside is kept spotless clean. We didn't have time to tour the museum and rooftop walk but I believe 18euro allows access to both. There is a bronze line on the floor with pictures of several constellations that shows the passing of the sun through the window on certain days. Very interesting to find that in a church. There are a few large statues outside in the spacious piazza that are also worth a close look if you have time

Visited the Palermo Cathedral while in town and wow — it’s absolutely beautiful. The architecture and deep history are truly stunning, and its UNESCO status feels well-deserved. We wandered for a while and found plenty of great photo spots. Entry is paid, but worth it. Definitely a must-see when in Palermo. Saluti!

The Palermo Cathedral is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and architecturally complex buildings in all of Italy. It was the most important and beloved sight of our visit to Palermo, and it’s a place where you can easily spend an entire day exploring its incredible history and diverse grandeur. What makes this Cathedral so mesmerizing is its astonishing Arab-Norman architecture, a result of centuries of conquest and cultural fusion. Unlike a typical Italian Duomo, it features elements of Byzantine, Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance design, visible in its massive scale, its delicate stonework, and the imposing battlements that crown the structure. From the exterior arches decorated with Arabic inscriptions to the imposing bell tower, the building tells the entire history of Sicily in stone. You can certainly spend hours simply admiring the exterior, but the interior offers equal wonder. Inside, be sure to explore the various facets of the complex: The Crypt: A quiet, ancient space holding the tombs of archbishops. The Royal Tombs: Containing the sarcophagi of Norman kings and Holy Roman Emperors, including Roger II and Frederick II. The Roofs: If possible, take the climb up to the roof for an unparalleled panoramic view of the entire city of Palermo, which truly puts the scale of the building into perspective. The Cathedral is a profoundly beautiful and essential stop that defines the grandeur and complexity of the city's identity.

The beautiful Palermo Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 12th century. The cathedral has undergone many transformations over time which has contributed to its unique blend of architectural styles (Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical). The cathedral houses the relics of Santa Rosalia, the Patron Saint of Palermo, as well as the tombs of six kings and queens. The cathedral also houses the tomb of Father Pino Pugliese, a local priest from Brancaccio who challenged the mafia and was subsequently killed by them in 1993. He was beatified by the church in 2013.

Palermo Cathedral is absolutely stunning! Just looking at the pictures and the details inside, you can really feel the faith and history. It’s one of those places that makes you stop and just take it all in.

Very limited things you can see. Most of the places are not allowed for entry (unless you have a special exhibition ticket). Be aware: The most famous Jesus mosaic is currently under construction! There is a nice little garden you can go and rest.

Its big but beautiful. You can see the combination of the three ruling ethnicities on Sicily in the palace. I advise to buy tickets online, then you have no wait. The queue for the ticket office spans the whole east to west of Sicily

It was worth the price (around 20€ per person). You also have a temporary exhibition (photos gallery) from an artist. You can spend almost two hours inside.

Most of the Chapel and Palace N/A for viewing (either in scaffolds, or just NO WAY for the visitors). Chapel is in need for restoration , no doubt, long due. Online ticket asked to arrive 15 min earlier for security check, however the staff didn't want you earlier . Staff didn't care about the money, that visitors paid, behaved angry and rudely towards strangers (bold man on the photos), but spending time kissing each other and having fun.

The Palatine Chapel blends Byzantine, Norman, and Arab art like no other. The golden mosaics are stunning, and the wooden muqarnas ceiling is breathtaking. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015, a powerful symbol of Sicily’s multicultural past.

Worth seeing! Same beautiful mosaiscs as in the Monreal cathedral but mixed with baroque art. Fun fact - all the marzipan fruits you see in Palermo - it all began here!

The Cappella Palatina is a breathtaking 12th-century chapel built by King Roger II inside the Norman Palace. Its golden Byzantine mosaics, the famous scene of Roger crowned by Christ, the Arabic wooden ceiling, and Norman architecture create a stunning fusion of cultures. A true masterpiece and an absolute must-see in Palermo.

We were incredibly lucky to have Teatro Massimo di Palermo literally on our doorstep. The architecture is stunning and absolutely photo-worthy. It’s also famous from The Godfather Part III, where the assassination of Apollonia was filmed. We loved passing by day and night, always catching a new angle. Overall, it’s a must-see and an easy stop while exploring Palermo. Saluti

The Teatro Massimo is absolutely stunning — both inside and out. The architecture is breathtaking, from the grand marble staircase to the ornate auditorium. Attending a performance here is an unforgettable experience, and even just the guided tour gives a real sense of Palermo’s cultural richness. The acoustics are excellent, and the staff are friendly and informative. A must-visit for anyone interested in opera

We headed out early from Syracuse to do this hike. 1.2 km down the ravine to this little oasis. Getting there was an easy drive until we got a km away. Then you are on a very rocky, narrow road- praying that no one is coming the other way. Several larger vehicles parked at the start of the narrow road - i assume the passengers walked in. There are clean washrooms available for use at the top of the hill. We were given an estimate of 40 minutes down and an hour back. I’m not in the best of shape so was worried about the trip back up. Although I had already been doing a lot of steps and stairs for the past 13 days. We made it both ways in less than the estimated time told to us. The route was a mix of rock steps, loose rock and a few flatter spots- just to keep you going. lol It’s nice to be able to sit and have some lunch dangling your feet in the cool water. The temperature heated up as we descended. We were glad that the temp outside was around 24. I think if it was warmer it would slow the hike back up the hill as there isn’t a lot of shade to rest in. A beautiful hike and we certainly recommend it.

Magnificent! The atmosphere is really about the classic theatre inside of the performance part and architecture. Surrounding floors and buffet I would say need a deep renovation. It doesn't match the overall expectations. Performance, the orchestra are magnificent 😄

As fans of The Godfather trilogy, visiting the Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele was the first thing on our Palermo itinerary—it's iconic! The theater is famous worldwide as the dramatic setting for the final, tragic scene of The Godfather Part III, making it an essential pilgrimage site for film lovers. Even though we couldn't secure tickets for the interior tour this time, the building's exterior is magnificent and absolutely worth the visit. It stands as the largest opera house in Italy and the third largest in Europe, a massive, imposing structure that dominates Piazza Giuseppe Verdi. Its Neoclassical design, with a majestic hexastyle Corinthian portico and the impressive bronze lions flanking the entrance steps, speaks to the incredible wealth and culture of Palermo at the turn of the 20th century. Taking a moment to simply stand on the steps and admire the architecture, imagining the grand events that have unfolded there (both real and cinematic), is a pleasure in itself. Whether you are here for the opera, the history, or for the indelible connection to the Corleone family's final moments, the Teatro Massimo is a truly beautiful and essential stop in Palermo.

Astonishing place. Truly beautiful inside and out. Terrific accoustics. Great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Compared to rivals, extremely reasonable ticket prices. If possible don't take a tour, see a performance. Would you pay to see nice food in a restaurant? It comes alive with music.

The exterior is definitely worth to come and see, specially if you are a fan of the godfather movies. The interior is equally impressive. The guided tour is not expensive and even if it is short, it is worth it. I would recommend as second to the palazzo for the must visit in Palermo.

better preserved than the one in Paris. No need to que for long. Can take credit card for ticket payment. The actual entrance is near the shop, not the gate, dont miss.

So incredible! If for no other reason go too see the old clothes worn by the deceased. About a 30-40 minute tour through it. Little Rosalia was difficult to see. You had to stand behind a barrier and could not easily look in to see her sweet face. You cannot take photos. Getting there was a pain. We took an expensive taxi to and from central Palermo to get there. (Worth it) Afterwords, tour the adjacent Cappuccini Cemetery above it. A wonder of art and beauty. My husband was in awe of the number of flowers relations leave for family members.

Incredible sight, incredible preservation of history. Macabre, humbling, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wish they had more signs perhaps with some context for the people interred there, but it was still interesting.

The Cappuchin Crypt / Catacombs is the right place to come for something totally spooky and unique! I loved my visit contemplating death and seeing the outfits over the skeletons of people dead for hundreds of years. Amazing!

The place is both moving and unsettling — corridors lined with mummies and skeletons dressed in centuries-old clothing, from children to clergymen and members of the upper class. That said, the site feels a bit neglected — dust, wear on the displays, and a lack of clear explanations in foreign languages make it harder to fully grasp the historical value. If you’re looking for something truly unusual, it’s a must-see — but for the sensitive eye and heart, it can also be quite disturbing.

I highly recommend! Very unique with lots of cool history!! There are not many plaques explaining the history so I recommend doing some reading up on it beforehand so you have greater insight when in there. We didn't buy tickets in advance and showed up when it opened again in the afternoon. There was a long line when we got there. We bought tickets and went in about 20-30 min afterwards. So, show up early! But they move through people pretty quickly. No photos or videos are allowed. Don't be a douche in there. It's a solemn and macabe experience.

Interesting experience. There was quite a queue but once the catacombs re-opened after lunch, it moved quickly. It took me 20 minutes or so to walk through. The best-preserved bidy of the little girl was barely visible as it was very dark.

One of the Most Beautiful Churches I’ve Ever Visited Absolutely stunning! Be sure to get the full ticket – the view from the rooftop is breathtaking. It’s best to visit right when it opens, as it can get quite crowded later with large tour groups arriving by bus.

The Duomo di Monreale is one of the most extraordinary cathedrals I have ever visited — a true masterpiece of Norman architecture in Sicily. Located on a hill overlooking Palermo, the cathedral impresses from the moment you arrive with its majestic exterior and breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below. The interior is simply unforgettable. Every inch of the walls and ceilings is covered in magnificent golden mosaics, telling biblical stories with incredible artistry and precision. The image of Christ Pantocrator in the apse radiates a spiritual power that leaves a lasting impression. The combination of Norman, Byzantine, and Arab influences creates a unique and harmonious atmosphere that reflects Sicily’s rich cultural history. Don’t miss the cloister, a peaceful courtyard surrounded by elegant arches and beautifully carved columns — each one different, a true work of art. It’s a perfect place to take a quiet moment and admire the craftsmanship. Visiting Duomo di Monreale feels like stepping into another time. It’s not just a church; it’s a treasure of world heritage and one of the most remarkable places in Italy.

Monreale’s Duomo is an architectural masterpiece, yet what truly makes the experience unforgettable is the atmosphere. Unlike the more heavily trafficked Palermo Cathedral, the Monreale Cathedral feels like its quiet, intensely spiritual twin. It’s significantly less crowded, allowing for a far more contemplative and local experience, where you often see more residents than tourists. If the Palermo Cathedral is a grand fortress, Monreale’s Duomo is a perfectly preserved jewel box. Its Arab-Norman architecture beautifully showcases the incredible fusion of cultures that defined 12th-century Sicily, a signature style shared with its counterpart in Palermo. The defining feature of the interior is, of course, the breathtaking, unified cycle of Byzantine gold mosaics. They shimmer with an ethereal light and tell Biblical stories across thousands of square meters, dominated by the majestic, compassionate figure of the Christ Pantocrator in the apse. Being able to view these mosaics without the crush of large tour groups is a privilege that truly enhances their impact. The experience here feels much more authentic and tied to the local community. The square outside, the adjacent cloisters with their intricate columns (another must-see), and the church itself feel like an active place of worship and local pride, rather than just a historic site. This sense of peace and intimacy makes Monreale an essential stop, providing a deeper connection to Sicily’s magnificent Norman heritage than you might find in the bustling city center. It’s a powerful experience for those looking for grandeur on a more human scale.

An absolutely extraordinary cathedral and one of the most impressive churches I have ever visited. The Cathedral of Monreale is breathtaking from the moment you enter—every surface shines with golden mosaics, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The mix of light, color, and detail is simply spectacular. The interior feels like a fusion of cultures, where Norman, Byzantine, and Arab influences come together in perfect harmony. A bit of history & curiosities: • The cathedral was built in the 12th century by William II of Sicily, who wanted to create a monument that would rival the greatest churches of the Mediterranean. • It is famous for its 6,400 square meters of Byzantine mosaics, among the largest and most complete collections in the world. • At the center of the apse, the enormous Christ Pantocrator is one of the most iconic images in Christian art. • The architecture reflects Sicily’s multicultural history: Norman structure, Byzantine mosaics, and Arab decorative patterns all coexist in the same space. • The cathedral is part of the UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of Arab-Norman monuments in Palermo and Monreale.

Stunningly beautiful Norman cathedral in Monreale, the birthplace of my wife’s grandmother and locale where her grandparents lived before emigrating to Rochester, NY in 1902. Wish we could have spent more time in Monreale, but we enjoyed seeing this wonderful cathedral. Definitely do the tower walk, worth the money.

Absolutely a must to visit ,truly beautiful and a joy to walk around even if your not religious. Light airy resembles the ceilings of the Sistine chapel . Uplifting experience and real bird of paradise plants in the square.

This was an incredible place to visit. The outside of the building holds a beautiful exterior that is quite moving. We were blown away by it. It was also great to climb up onto the roof. Just note that if you are scared of heights or claustrophobic and/or not used to walking up and down steps you could struggle here. The parking was a bit of an experience but the total experience was worth it. We purchased tickets when we got there and there was no queue. Very recommended.

Really beautiful beach outside of Palermo, easy to reach via public transit grabbing the 806 bus. Plenty of spaces to sit around the beach, both free and for purchase. The water was beautiful and the landscape around the city surrounded by mountains is sublime.

The beach itself is very beautiful with warm and transparent water. But the problem is infrastructure, only one public toilet, a lot of dirty, not enough garbage bins. Not enough small groceries. But anyway, maybe this is generic problem for touristic places in Italy, or Sicily. In total, amazing place to visit and swim for a few day, as for long term vacation is not adopted yet.

We visited in mid to late September, and it was still quite busy. Sandy beach and clear water. 🏖️ It was easy to find space, even in the free public areas, though towards the eastern end of the beach (near the rocky side) there was a faint smell of sewage in the air. Loads of noise due to some people playing loud music on speakers and noisy vendors along the beach. It’s a good option for a quick beach trip not far from Palermo city, but overall we preferred Cefalù Beach, which was cleaner and quieter.

A really nice beach to relax and enjoy. You can take a 10mins bus ride from the city and a few minutes walk to get there We visit there in May the weather is nice, sun light and not too hot. It’s a really good time to visit.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Palermo, it is accessible by car and even by bus. You have the private side with excellent rates, a place and shower available and even toilets. The first line is free for anyone who has their own parasol. I also recommend it especially if you are for a long stay. You also have outdoor showers and toilets. There are local restaurants and a very cute little port. I wish you an excellent stay and don't forget to return early in the day if you use the bus and to observe the times of the last bus. 🌹

A very beautiful beach and sea! It’s lovely for swimming, the water stays shallow for quite a distance, reaching only up to your hips even several meters in (for a smaller-sized person). Both the beach and the sea are clean and very pleasant. The only downside is that the beach is packed with sunbeds, leaving little space for people who don’t want to pay for one and just want to lay down a towel. Other than that, it’s easily reachable by bus from Palermo, no need for a private taxi. The bus works just fine and is very convenient. Highly recommended!

What can I say about this place. I will return one day. This was the best beach I’ve ever seen. The water was so clear I could see my feet. Wish I was able to spend a few days here.

Cool place with history. Take sun umbrella and lot of water if you want to go and walk around. I enjoyed walking all way up.

The remote location and empty feeling you find walking through the cracks is something special that is hard to describe. You can also visit the other ghost town nearby and hike through the ruins of an old church. Bring water as the heat is intense during summer.

it is an amazing piece of land-art, not just from from a bird’s view, but also walking on the “streets”. The streets are very steep, so if you don’t want to exhaust yourself, then I advise you to approach from north - then you can mesmerize in the view and don’t have to climb a lot. it is not a landmark where you have to pay / wait / whatever. It’s a big piece of concrete block that is free to enter, wander around.

So good place - place as art and place with plenty of history. Respect. Car park available. Don’t miss the town - Poggiorealle - few km away. Town who was destroyed by earthquake. Both worth to visit. Keep safe - as some part of the roads are damaged - hardly to pass with normal car. Perfect for 4x4

Great place to visit to see the art installation to the memory of the lost town. Free to look around.

The thing is huge scale, totally worth the detour!

Map of Gibilini art installation created in cement of the old town in Sicily. It's worth seeing and walking along the streets. I would go in the early morning or early evening to avoid the heat of the midday sun is visiting during the summer months. It's not very exciting but interesting. Kind of reminds me of the holocaust memorial installation in Berlin Germany.

Museum is Italian only. Mostly prehistoric artifacts plus a little about local patriarchy. Castle is nice and views are worth visiting.

the castle is closed even tough it says it's open. Il castello è CHIUSO

One should check carefully opening times. There is a "punto panoramico" close to it.

Spendido

Interesting place

(Translated by Google) I visited Grifeo Castle and I must say that it was a very pleasant experience. The structure is really beautiful and is in excellent condition, clean and tidy, which makes the visit even more pleasant. The historic atmosphere of the castle is fascinating. It is an ideal place for both history buffs and those who simply want to spend time in an evocative setting. The entrance price of €3 is definitely accessible and justified by the quality of the experience offered. The only reason I don't give five stars is that I would have expected more information and historical details during the visit. In conclusion, I highly recommend a visit to Grifeo Castle; It definitely deserves a stop for anyone in Partanna. (Original) Ho visitato il Castello Grifeo e devo dire che è stata un'esperienza molto piacevole. La struttura è davvero bella e si presenta in ottimo stato, pulita e ordinata, il che rende la visita ancora più gradevole. L'atmosfera storica del castello è affascinante. È un luogo ideale sia per gli appassionati di storia e per chi semplicemente desidera trascorrere del tempo in un contesto suggestivo. Il prezzo d'ingresso di 3 € è decisamente accessibile e giustificato dalla qualità dell'esperienza offerta. L'unico motivo per cui non do cinque stelle è che mi sarei aspettato maggiori informazioni e dettagli storici durante la visita. In conclusione, consiglio vivamente una visita al Castello Grifeo; merita sicuramente una tappa per chi si trova a Partanna.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, well-curated display of the finds inside, some explanatory videos to watch. It deserves to be visited. Very close there is also the church of San Francesco di Paola which is also very rich inside. (Original) Molto bello, curata l'esposizione dei reperti presenti all'interno, alcuni video esplicativi da vedere. Merita di essere visitato. Vicinissimo c'è anche la chiesa di San Francesco di Paola anch'essa molto ricca all'interno.

On our visit to Ustica my wife and I went on a guided snorkelling trip with Orca Diving in October and we were delighted that we chose Orca. They proved to be thoroughly professional, and their enthusiasm made the experience memorable. Our snorkelling guide was constantly pointing out the wide variety of marine life and giving informative explanations. Our trip covered a variety of locations including a visit to a magical cave that would not ordinarily be accessible. Highly recommended.

Incredible experience in Ustica! I did an Advanced open water course with Alex and I cannot recommend Orca Diving more! Everything was super organized from the beginning to the end, Claire was patient and quickly responded to all my questions I had prior booking, she helped me to book a perfect accommodation. The whole crew of Orca Diving was so friendly, nice and professional. I hope I can go back soon, merci beaucoup 🩵🧜‍♀️🤿🐠🪼🦑🐋🐳🐟🐡🦀

Excellent diving center! Was wonderful 3 days of diving - super professional and warm hearted team! Many thanks to Claire and her great team!

One of the best diving schools I've ever been to! The owners Claire and Davide are friendly, professional and accommodating. I did both my Advanced Course and Nitrox certification here with Steven, who is an incredible teacher: knowledgeable, humble and makes you feel very safe under water. All the staff are really sweet and helpful. To sum it up: non-pretentious and high-quality!

Surely one of the best place I have dived in! The instructors are amazing and the seabed is beautiful. I highly recommend and I hope I will go back.

Amazing team – very friendly and professional! :) If you want to dive in Ustica, this is the diving center you should choose. It’s located right on the port, with very easy access to the boats. Plus, they speak several different languages fluently. :D

This dive center was amazing from start to finish. When I first contacted Claire it was several weeks before arrival. She sent me loads of information, not just about the diving, but the island in general which was very helpful in the planning stage of our trip. As soon as we arrived at the dive shop everything was already meticulously planned and very easy to understand. This is by far the best organised dive center I have been to. All the instructors and guides were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable of the dive sites. I did four dives over two days and every one of them was unique in its own way. If you're visiting Ustica for diving, dont look anywhere else.

Amazing diving experience. We booked an offer for 5 dives and 3 nights. Since we arrived to the island, we didn't know any problems. They met us from the boat, carry us to the provided hotel, which was also very nice. Dive spots are quite close to the harbour, great underwater landscapes and a huge amount of fish. Instructors were very professional and attentive.

I've gone diving all over, and Blue Diving Ustica is top of the line. The staff is unbelievable friendly, fun and clearly love their jobs and the island. But most of all they know the dive sites so well that every dive is interesting for divers of all levels, even if you're in a mixed group. In five days (eleven dives) I went to the same spot three times, but the dives felt incredibly different every time. I would happily come back again, and if Pepe or Maurizio ever move on, I'll find where they've gone and dive there.

Had a weeks diving with these guys. The Ribs & equipment are first class. The guiding and choice of sites excellent. Very patient and always a smile and a joke. Easy logistics they do all the work for you.

I was in contact with them via whatsapp. Guiseppe told me he has an accommodation for me and gave me an address for a parking at Palermo harbor. I then wrote him i can't reach the Parking and have to wait for an answer before i book everything else, because i had a lot of stuff in my camper van. No answer. I called him, he picked up but after i explained he talk something in italien and hung up. I tried to write and call again, no answer. Finally i booked at another company. I then went to their shop after i arrived at the island. He was not there, but the other guy was unfriendly and rude too.

Great Diving! Alessandro, Giuseppe and Rami super helpful and professional :) Ustica is a must have on your diving logs!

Really nice diving experience! Definitely recommend Ustica and Blue Diving!

Had two great dives with this company, highly recommend!

Professional, kind, fun and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have had a better experience.

Spent a week diving in may 2023 with 3 friends Was great to discover Ustica and Mister Jupp Great team lot of attention to their divers and great guided dives Book a week and go, you will get new Italian friends who you will have pleasure to visit regularly

Excellent service before, during and after diving. Available to help with whatever issue you may have during your stay in Ustica so that your only focus is on having fun.

Great Team and Great Dives!

(Translated by Google) Truly super diving. Good instructors attentive to the needs of divers and safety. Comfortable boats, amazing dives. Thanks to Alessandro, Davide and the staff (Original) Diving veramente super. Bravi istruttori attenti alle esigenze dei subacquei e alla sicurezza. Barche confortevoli, immersioni straordinarie. Grazie ad Alessandro, Davide e allo staff

(Translated by Google) On holiday in Ustica for the first time, Mister Jump diving was recommended to me, and the result was won over by the professionalism of Alessandro the owner and the expertise of Marco's instructors who were able to further enhance these beautiful seabeds! (Original) In vacanza ad ustica per la prima volta, mi viene consigliato il diving Mister Jump, risultato: conquistato dalla professionalità di Alessandro il titolare e dalla competenza dei Marco's gli istruttori che hanno saputo esaltare ancora di più questi bellissimi fondali!

(Translated by Google) We were in Ustica in November, Abandoned due to rough sea conditions and lack of members from our reference diving, by chance we met Mr Jump ... and miracle the holiday was not only saved ... but became unforgettable !!! Professionalism, friendliness, availability, correctness, honesty and knowledge of the place not everyone can boast! I definitely recommend it to all beginners and experts.
