👍👍 One of our best experience in Catania was the (English) guided tour of the monastery (well, university).

👍👍 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

Narrow village stree...

Temple of Athena
Historical landmark
😠 Beautiful cathedral. As a catholic, I hated how I had to pay to get in. I had to pay and entrance fee to pray in the church. Horrible. To top it off, there were some kids outside kicking a football around. I witnessed one of the kids kick it really hard almost hitting a tourist. Shortly after, they...
