Easily the top highlight of our sicily trip. Besides the magnificent site and beach nearby, big thanks to the hotel and restaurant team for making our stay and couple anniversary extra special! We enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely come back next time we visit sicily!!

Castello San Marco is the kind of hotel that draws you back again and again. Full of charm, character, and beauty, it sits in a breathtaking spot—nestled by the beach with magnificent views of Mount Etna. The dining is exceptional, the service polished and welcoming, and the rooms are both elegant and thoughtfully appointed. It’s an unforgettable place and returning feels inevitable.

This hotel is exceptional. I’ve stayed here multiple times and the property is so beautiful— across from a great beach. The staff are phenomenal— each and everyone one has an added value to the property. I’ve worked closely with Flavia booking reservations, and she has been wonderful in every way. The entire front desk staff is always smiling and have a great sense of humor. I’ve had the honor of meeting the owner, Grazia, who is full of great stories and beautiful inside and out along with the entire family. This property is a must!

A hidden gem and most perfect location. This place was everything I wanted and needed during my Italy road trip. Don't stay in the tourist traps !! Stay here and simply taxi into the crazy busy places ! The food and the service was perfection. The bed was so cozy, the shower was perfect temperature and pressure. and the rooms were beautiful.

What a treat to be able to spend a few nights in this beautiful oasis. The minute we arrived. Marco greeted us and The lovely ladies at the desk were welcoming friendly, helpful, professional. Every inch of the property was beautifully maintained and gave us a great sense of being in historic Sicily feeling like royalty . The restaurant which we ate at two nights was a surprise ,Michelin star  food, cleverly and tastefully each course was delicious. Wine list was full of beautiful Sicilian wines and a showstopper was having a very special cocktail made right at our table. I have had the good fortune from working so hard my life to stay at many four and five star hotels around the world and this will not disappoint . Our room was so comfortable, tastefully decorated & beautiful I didn’t want to leave the room . The beach was just steps away, and we swam in the beautiful Ionian Sea , the hotel is a destination, (we did go winetasting during the day at Benanti an excellent tour and tasting) hotel definitely worth a stay if you need to relax and want to be pampered -oh, and the swimming pool was magnificent along with serving cocktails and food poolside.

My wife stayed here on our honeymoon and were blown away. The property is pretty big (hence being a castle) and has a massive pool, gardens, event center and a tennis court looking at Mt. Etna. It transforms at night with all of the lights around the hotel. Their dinners were absolutely amazing. Their staff was very friendly and helpful. I would give a big shout out to the stand alone bar that is open at night. If you like specialty cocktails and a great place to relax and visit, this is it. The room was very nice and clean and bar far the largest square feet we stayed during our month long trip. They also have their own beach club right across the street, however it was closed when we stayed (late October) We can not wait to go back!

Wow! What a place.... Our entire experience at the Castello San Marco was wonderful from start to finish in every aspect. We were booked to stay for three nights, however due to a delayed flight from Venice, we missed our connection to Catania in Rome and couldn't get there till the next day. I had messages from Flavia at reception via WhatsApp - she was caring and so supportive towards us. She reassured me that they would do everything they could and would be eagerly waiting our arrival. Upon arrival the next day, we were welcomed with excitement and enthusiasm. Flavia let us know that they had upgraded our room as a gesture to somewhat make up for our missed night and also included the beach club free of charge. We were so delighted - we hadn't expected this and it was such a nice surprise. Our rooms were just gorgeous, the air con was fantastic (thank goodness as it was VERY hot outside) and the pool was utterly magic. The olive oil made on site is delicious and their various 'Spritz' aperitive options were really delightful....yum! Lunch by the pool was really yummy and quite good value. They even told us where we could go to buy the locally sourced cocktail ingredients. The breakfasts were sublime - best coffee I've had in Italy and a wonderful choice of delicious and beautifully prepared food. Our visit to the beach club was wonderful and swimming in the water there is something I'll never forget. We dined at the on-site restaurant on our last night. It was such a beautiful meal and the service was exceptional. Mario prepared a special digestif of pomegranate at the table before dessert which was the most delightful performance to watch, and the drink he served may be the best thing I've smelt and tasted in my life! It was utterly wonderful. We will be back - thank you to the whole team for a truly special experience and for your care towards us.

This site is closed because 2 yrs ago there was a fire. Really? It’s a pity. And from the outside there is not much one can see. I wish they opened it again. Also it’s a long walk or, if you are really good at driving, you can reach the base by car and then go up to the Church that is next to the base of the castle. But be careful if you drive because there are a series of tight curves that I was almost sure I was going to scratch the car (I did not) while praying no one would come from the opposite direction.

A fun ride on the lift but sadly not a lot to see once you're in the castle. Great views around though.

Great view but not well managed. Not muxh information is available about the castle. Interesting to go up and get a beautiful view of Taormina Naxos and Etna, but not worth the price in my opinion.

A good place for stunning view on Taormina valley, Etna and ionian sea. Easy to reach. It is furnited by a cablaway that bring you from parking to the door of castle.

Very nice place but looks a little bit abandoned. Need some restoration on signs

Well worth a visit. Beautiful views on a clear day ☺️

Awesome place, really recommend. Drinks at the bar hella expensive tho you're drinking in a 1700 yo castle

Austere baroque building. Its facade is the most exuberant part of the building. The grave of Bellini is an impressive site and obviously still loved by the locals given the flowers. The music line on the grave talks of the fire dying with his passing. The remnants of the Norman Basilica give an idea of the prior building’s grandeur, it is a great pity it did not survive (given also how beautiful other Norman buildings are) Well worth a short visit!

The Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata is an extraordinary place of worship and a must-see for anyone passionate about culture, religion, and art. Rich in history, it stands as one of Catania’s most iconic landmarks. The cathedral is truly spectacular – both in its impressive exterior architecture and in the beauty and detail of its interior. A visit here leaves you with a deep sense of awe and appreciation for Sicily’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

We visited this Cathedral early in the day, then came back that evening for a classical music event. This is a very special place with a deeply spiritual vibe. The marble work is exquisite and not overly ornate. This is a lovely, lovely place.

The Kathedrale Sant’Agata (Catania Cathedral) is a magnificent piece of architecture that anchors the Piazza del Duomo. The building itself is historically rich and absolutely beautiful, showcasing the striking Baroque style typical of the city. The surrounding garden area is also well-kept and provides a lovely, peaceful contrast to the busy piazza. Top Tip for Photographers: If you want to capture truly amazing pictures of the Cathedral and the piazza, I highly recommend visiting right before or during sunset. The light hitting the facade at that time is spectacular and creates unforgettable views. This is not just a place of worship, but a true architectural and photographic landmark in Catania.

The Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata in Catania is one of the most captivating landmarks in Sicily, offering a powerful blend of history, spirituality, and architectural beauty. Located at the heart of the city’s main square, the cathedral immediately draws attention with its grand Baroque façade, a striking contrast against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Etna. The exterior is richly ornamented yet harmonious, showcasing elegant stonework that reflects both the resilience and the artistic heritage of the region. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a spacious and luminous interior. The soaring columns, intricate chapels, and ornate altars create an atmosphere of reverence and serenity. One of the most memorable aspects is the cathedral’s connection to Saint Agatha, the patron saint of Catania. Her presence is deeply woven into the basilica’s identity, and the relics displayed within lend a powerful sense of tradition and devotion. The cathedral also offers a unique insight into the city’s turbulent past. It has been rebuilt multiple times due to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and this layered history adds emotional depth to the experience. The blend of Norman, Baroque, and later architectural influences makes wandering through the basilica both visually engaging and historically enriching. Outside, the bustling square provides a lively contrast, making the cathedral a perfect starting point for exploring Catania’s cultural and urban life. Whether you are drawn by faith, history, or architecture, the Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata is a must-see destination that leaves a lasting impression.

Some cathedrals are beautifully painted with fresccos and adorned with gorgeous artefacts. This cathedral was almost simple but had grandeur instead. Absolutely magnificent and that made it beautiful. There catacombs under that I did not visit (3 euros). Beautiful cathedral.

Very beautiful, although the church is starting to show major damages to the outside structure. The inside is not well maintained. See this marvel before time takes it away

Fantastic view of Mount Etna from the top of the steps. Well kept gardens with interesting busts of famous Sicillians in history. Venue for outdoor theatre, we got to hear the sound checks and a cheeky free listen to some opera. A couple of playgrounds if you have children in tow. No where to buy food or drink, so bring something with you if you plan to chill in the shade

great park for some rest on a hot day! shame there aren’t more water fountains though. near a lidl which is always a plus in my eyes. lots of nice shaded spots to relax and read a book and there is a water fountain on one side of the park you just have to really hustle to find it

A nice place in the center of Catania. I wonder that many men statues are presented there, but barely no women. Pretty weird. But in general I liked it there.

The park is huge and so beautiful! well maintain and there are lots of bench to sit

Very beautiful and calm park! Highly recommended for short rest during the town exploring! It is possible to get espresso coffee or cold beer. Kids friendly and the detail with current date from plants is very nice.

Really good park, nice cold water fountain to fill up those water bottles on those hot summer days!

Beautiful and relaxing, it's a shame that the oldest tree there has graffiti on it. Looked like the gardens needed a bit more attention from the gardeners but apart from that it's a really nice place to visit.

The Benedictine Monastery in Catania is a very special and well maintained piece of history in Catania. I took a group of Americans from my yoga retreat here as part of a cultural excursion to Catania and it was absolutely fabulous. The tour was about an hour long and covered so much history and interesting parts of the property to explore. Our english speaking guide was so passionate and enthusiastic about the history he was sharing with us. He invited questions from the group through out our experience and he was a fountain of information and knowledge. I would recommend this tour to history buffs and skeptics alike.

We really enjoyed our guided visit to the Monastero dei Benedettini (10€). It was fascinating to walk through 2000 years of history, and it’s truly remarkable that such a historic place is now home to a university. It’s one of the most beautiful university campuses I’ve ever seen !

We accidentally stumbled across the monastery whilst sightseeing in Catania and managed to join a guided tour. The monastery blew us away and the guide was amazing. Being able to see the evolution of the site from its Roman beginnings in the basement library to the various rebuilding of the earthquakes and eruptions of Etna was fascinating. Of all the churches and sites in Catania, I’d put this on the top of the list.

A tour guide is definitely necessary here. Our tour guide Nicola was so funny and informative. You got all kinds of funny stories and history about this place from 2nd century AD to current time. We even got into the usually not open area thanks to our guide. (Also this museum shop has the best designed souvenirs I have seen so far in Sicily)

One of the largest monastery in Europe, full of interesting historical sites and ancient ruins; make sure to visit along with a guide; there is 1 every hour and the whole tour takes around 1:20 hours and it’s really worth it.

You can't judge a book by its cover nor can you judge this magnificent monastery but the outside. Once inside of this church that is for the monks of the order it is unbelievably beautiful. I highly recommend visiting it if you come to Catania.

Words cannot express how amazing our tour was!!!!!! Our guide in English was sooooooo GREAT!!!!! He had such a passion for the history. Really really great!!! Definitely a MUST SEE IN CATANIA. The building was incredible!!!

Had great time on quads! With Salvatore guide I felt safe all the times, even going through challenging parts. The tour took even longer than expected and guides were very dedicated.

What a fantastic trekking tour with a brilliant guide (slightly 🤪crazy 🌋 🐐) You meet at the hut, collect a helmet, snack and drinks and if required a jacket, walking boots and socks. (All included in the price) They then carefully explain where you are going and what you are undertaking. Then you are escorted to the cable car to 2500m once there you commence a 3-3.5hr hike around various craters, fissures in an amazing landscape. Not too strenuous but you can definitely feel the effects of the altitude when ascending. Tiziana expertly guided us and imparted her detailed knowledge of the volcano with great joy and happiness. Loved the trip, we had a fabulous friendly group from over seven different countries. Highly recommend trip up Etna

Highly recommend visiting Etna with them ! Great people who speak English French and Italian. They are very nice and explain a lot about the environment and what has happened over the years. They lend you a jacket, shoes and socks so you are safe and confortable. They told me that we would maybe see lava if lucky, I got very excited and when they saw it they came to get me straight away for me to see. Recommend 100%

We booked this hoping for a really nice view and a bit of a thrill on some quads. My boyfriend is a big dirt biker back home so we thought this would be a great experience. This felt more like a four wheeler as transportation rather than thrilling fun. The one unexpected positive piece was that the pizza voucher we got ended up being one of the best pizzas we had while in Italy that’s at the restaurant meeting point.

Great tour, very exciting family buggy ride, very informative, very nice and funny guide. The guide spoke English and was very helpful and careful. Unfortunately we couldn't see everything. We didn't see any active part of the volcano either. We were offered a 2 hour tour but at that moment no family buggies were available (we were with 2 adults and a 4-year old). We had to wait for their return. As we had too little time before heading back to the mainland, we were offered a 1 hour alternative tour. The tour is not cheap. The price was not halved like the touring time. We got a quarter of the original price off. That is the only thing we didn't like. But it was worth the experience and view!

Not recommended — Euro Etna Tourism. We paid €200 for a quad tour, thinking we’d go up to see the craters of Etna. In reality, they just drove us down the mountain over rocks, with no views and nothing special to see. A waste of both time and money. If you want to experience real Etna, just take the Funivia dell’Etna cable car or walk around the free Silvestri Craters right next to the parking area — much better!

Top quad biking experience! 😍 Everything was perfectly organized – from the warm welcome to the very end. The team was extremely friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Big thanks to the whole crew for an unforgettable adventure – I’m happy to recommend it to anyone looking for an active day! 🚀💪 Slovenia 🇸🇮

They run a pretty efficient operation. Pretty decent food options at the top. However, there's no view of anything at the top without a hefty hike. The grade is pretty steep to get up to either of the 2 smaller craters. For the easier, but still significant hike to the bigger crater, you have to take the overlander bus. That said, we saw a lot of folks hiking up the same distance the entire length of the gondola. You wouldn't see many doing a similar hike in the U.S.

A visit to Mount Etna is a non-negotiable part of any Sicilian trip, and the views are truly impressive, even awe-inspiring up close! The Experience: The cable car experience is great, but we encountered high winds on the day of our visit. This is where the service truly shone: instead of closing completely, they operated a unique shuttle! We were driven up with big, specialized trucks, which was a very special and unique experience in itself. Later in the day, when the wind lessened, we were able to enjoy the descent via the cable car. Facilities and Gear Rental (Crucial!): The service is excellent, meaning you don't need to worry about anything if you aren't prepared. If you don't have the right outfit, you can rent essential gear right at the station, including helmets, walking sticks, and boots. Up at the station, there is also a restaurant with food options. The prices are higher than in the rest of Sicily, as expected for a mountain top, but they are still decent and worth it for a necessary break. Conditions at the Top: Be prepared for conditions at the upper station! It was extremely windy—so much so that walking was difficult, and it was impossible to continue up to the main craters. My daughter and I stayed close to the station, but my husband bravely ventured out to capture some fantastic photos of the volcanic landscape. Highly recommended for the unique landscape and the thoughtful, high-quality visitor services!

Great and fast way to reach Etna top. The funicular cable company also provides bus to the exact top (2970m) and this is the cheapest option comparing with travel agencies (which offer the same but also give you some helmets and unnecessary stuff). It was surprise that you can rent a windproof jacket and hiking shoes on higher station cheaper (5 euro per shoes per day) than in souvenir shops at the lower station (8 euro per shoes per day). The whole experience is wow. Etna is perfect.

November of 2025. A MUST see place, no need to explain why, however, prices do bite and yes, I do understand, it's for the better infrastructure, customer safety etc. That aside, we as a family of 4 people paid 290€ to see this mesmerising sight, but soonest as we arrived at the carpark, we got greeted by the older Italian man, who asked to pay him 5€ for parking. What!? I paid 290€ fair and square and then pay more for a carpark was a bit too much for me. I guess we're just tourists, but beggers and rude "business" people should be controlled somehow. Peace

My partner and I took the full pass with fast track and 4x4 online. At the time we went in the afternoon there was only a short line for purchasing and no one in line to go up (around 12:30pm). If you go around this time, the next 4x4 bus is at 1pm, so it gave us a bit of time to eat after getting off the funicular. The bus takes you much higher to a large set of craters. The air is thin and the walk around the craters is 15 minutes up and 15 back down. You do need walking shoes. Sandals will end up with too many rocks in your shoes, but I saw someone do that uncomfortably. The guide was nice, but brief in his explanations. Explanations in Italian and English. I would have liked a bit more explanation time. Otherwise I didn’t mind the price - it’s clear that the money goes towards necessary staff, upkeep and road maintenance as the roads are being constantly covered by the ash. It’s also obvious that the area was destroyed and the rebuild is no doubt very costly. I’d recommend this to a friend but once was good enough. It’s a much more accessible experience and good if you only have a short time. We spent about 2.5 hours on the mountain with this experience.

We took a locals advise to not ride the cable car and hike up to the craters instead and we felt like we had a better experience. I guess the cable car just dumps you off at a parking lot. You have to hike further or pay more to ride the 4x4's. It was a nice day but clouds did limit visibility.

It’s Etna and it’s iconic so it is expensive. We’re here on a Monday at the end of October and the queue at the bottom for a cable car was crazy. We had booked online and our “fast pass” meant a 45 min queue at midday - I would estimate a two hour queue for those who bought tickets on the day. It’s €80 with the bus to about 2800m, otherwise the cable car is €50 and you can wander around freely at the top or even walk up to where the buses go to. The summit is not open to the public for safety reasons. Alternatively, you can pay nothing and hike as far as you want which is what a lot of people were doing. The views were spectacular as expected and the wind was strong so wrap up and bring sunglasses! Fortunately, the queue to come down in the cable car was much shorter. In summary, arrive early if possible and make sure you pre book online! The solution to the madness is simple - build another cable car. Not sure why they haven’t done it to be honest.

The location is good and interesting, the scenery is great. But you have to figure out some things on your own. First, you can't go into the area by car anymore. At the entrance you have to leave the car (free parking, not too spacious), register your name with the ranger and take a free shuttle bus that keeps going up to the end of the road to the Necropolis North and then back to the entrance. They will pick you up on the way. So far so good. Wish someone had told me in this clarity because the map they give you is useless, but you can go either 1 km by the shuttle to the start of the walking trail and the walk a few km to the end point, or do it the other way round. From the end point you can go down the river and up the other side or simply go back. There are many signposts along the way. Unfortunately, there are no maps showing you exactly where you are. I saw some confusion along the trail. Just bring enough water when it's hot cause you walk a lot and going this and that direction adds up. As long as you end up on either end of the road, you're fine. And it's all free of charge. If organization and information was better, I would have give 5 stars. But it's Sicily after all.

Quite the adventure finding the right paths, definitely recommend downloading Komoot to not get lost. Other than that absolutely beautiful, amazing experience, it really feels like a mystic place, has some Pandora vibes and the guys at the ranger station are extremely friendly.

Lovely valley - great views - perfect escape into nature. I would be cautious when it's raining, the stone in the valley tends to be quite slippery. The official parking was on one side of the road just before the entrance, it was free. Bring enough water!!!

Amazing walk around the valley with more than 3000 years of history. We did a tour of 6km, which took us almost two hours.

Incredible place - very beautiful for a hike!!! A must visit for anyone who likes nature / adventure / hiking / history! Parking wise there was no car park but we just parked near the info point entrance having drive in from Sortino direction. Was easy enough to just park at side of road which goes to a dead end at the entrance. The chaps at the entrance info point were friendly and helpful.

Hot in June/July but such a special experience. Worth going out of your way for if you’re a hiking and/or history buff.

If some moderate hiking and ancient history is your thing (and you have a car or bike), definitely make time for this place when near Syracusa. The scenery is stunning, the burial sites look like they were carved out of the rock yesterday, and you will have a cool place to splash around when you get down to the river. Entrance is free, you just have to register in the book. Bring water. Much of the hiking is exposed with only limited shade. Easily in my top 10 of outdoor things to do in Sicily.

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) A nice experience with my family and friends, beautiful environment and well-kept animals, helpful waiters but the owner should smile more, I know it's very complex because you have to take care of a room and enforce the rules but smiling doesn't hurt, in fact it would be the icing on the cake of a nice farmhouse... also because I've always been taught that whatever problem you have, people don't care because you leave the problems at home (even if you live there) 😅 some advice then we'll come the same again because I repeat beautiful place… (Original) Una bella esperienza con la mia famiglia ,e con amici ,ambiente bello e animali curatissimi ,camerieri disponibili però là proprietario dovreste sorridere di più ,so che è molto complesso perché c’è da curare una sala e far rispettare le regole però sorridere non fa male anzi sarebbe la ciliegina sulla torta di un bel agriturismo…anche perché a me hanno insegnato sempre che qualsiasi problema si ha ,alle persone non interessa perché i problemi si lasciano a casa ( anche se abita lì ) 😅un consiglio poi verremo lo stesso di nuovo perché ripeto bellissimo posto …

Let's start from the premise that I do not like doing these sort of activities - hence saying that I enjoyed it is no overstatement but rather a confirmation of how much fun one can have at this park. It's very well organised, very well kept and safe also. One thing However - the person who explained how things work should dedicate more time to novices like me rather than a brief 2 minutes and a good luck. Hence my only advice would be - please prepare rookies better

Excellent, a lot of fun and adrenaline. Very well maintained and organized, plenty of friendly helpful staff, and even pizza and grilled local salsiccia and veggies. Ideal place for a family with kids, there are attractions for the youngest (3 to 7 yo), the rest is for the brave who dare

Our son loved it. He is 5 years old. The activities were really safe and staff patiently helps and assists. Nice park, average price and lots of fun for the youn ones, worth a visit!

This park is organized, safe, and a good place to have a break after a long drive. There is a place to eat under a canopy, and toilet break. It is an adventure park.

So amazing, go for a picnic, awesome tree top courses (from child friendly to difficult levels). So much fun. Get there early to get parking and a picnic table

Lovely park and place in general , good range of zip lines, would recommend the superzip if you are up for it (it goes across a gully)

Second visit and was sure worthwhile. My son is a teenager now are really enjoyed it. Lunch at the restaurant was also great.

A very nice tour through the ancient barroc old town of Ragusa. For only € 5.- one can enjoy an outstanding 35‘ sight seeing tour. It is definitely worth it. There many tours every day.

So, first of all, it doesn’t seem interesting. Because you already saw all of the places while getting to the “train”. It’s quite a poor experience - additional circuit around Duomo and little more. And if the train is full you wouldn’t know beforehand and would seat uncomfortably with 2 other passengers on a bench. Maybe right under the sun because there is no shadow for the half of bench. So maybe I’d recommend it for disabled people or family with small kids. But not for most adults.

Ragusa Ibla is such peaceful and beautiful late baroque town. Totally worth to visit and spend time walking though each corner of it.

This is the only one of the Barocco trains that displayed a passive aggressive and rude attitude towards its clients. First they tried to fit all 4 of us (adults) into a single row, if you see them you’d understand it’s not possible. When prompted to solve the problem, they were initially reluctant and then wanted to put one person on another random row.

Nice if you don't expect too much

It's a laugh and saves some walking. At 5 Euros what's not to like?

This is a fun and easy way of exploring the town in the heat. You seat on the train and let it take you around the historical places and views around, while a recorded voice explains in Italian and English what you are seeing. If you keep the tickets, you can get a discount on the other trains in the other towns nearby.

Superb monument. Looks great from all nearby streets. Wonderful backdrop to the town of Ibla. Do yourself a favour and go visit this church even if to only stick your head inside for a few minutes.

Beautiful church that leaves a lasting impression on you. It looks out over a square which is also a great place to hang for a while. There weren’t many people around so it was very pleasant.

Ornate The Duomo di San Giorgio in Ragusa is a stunning example of Sicilian Baroque architecture, perched at the top of a dramatic flight of stairs. Entry is free, making it a must-visit landmark. The ornate façade and peaceful interior offer a memorable cultural and spiritual experience, with beautiful frescoes and intricate details. A true highlight of Ragusa!

A truly imposing church in Ragusa. It can be seen from the lower side of the square and gives you a sense of superiority. I visited it during Holy Week and also attended the rehearsals for the church organ. It is worth seeing. The place does not have a ticket.

Beautiful Church with amazing photo opportunities both inside and out

Make sure to visit during sunset or early evening. The colors look amazing.

Pay 3 euro to access the spiral staircase to get above the church,

Hard to reach but would come back. We found it organsmicly down the road nature and the cows are cute

Beautiful lake very peaceful

Lovely place for a walk with great views on surrounding mountains and villages (Agira, Regalbuto)

Great place for a stroll. Very serene. Good adventure park as well.

Decent place to hike but there is tons of trash, like a lot... A crazy amount of trash.

Beautiful place in sicily (near catania) largest lake wonderful

Heaven on earth.peaceful place for hiking

Spa and message services are very good value for money. We enjoyed the time we spent here and will definitely return.

Super

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
