Catania Streets and Local Food

Catania Streets and Local Food

Experience the authentic flavors and vibrant atmosphere of eastern Sicily on this immersive half-day excursion. Depart the pier and travel to the heart of Catania, home to one of the island’s oldest and most traditional open-air markets. As you walk through the lively stalls, you will discover a rich display of Mediterranean produce – fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, fragrant herbs, and the day’s catch of fish – surrounded by the energetic calls of vendors and the colorful chaos that defines true Sicilian folklore.

After exploring the market, pause at a classic local bar to enjoy a tasting of traditional Sicilian Street food, including the iconic arancini. Reboard the vehicle and continue to Aci Castello, a charming seaside fishing village and a beloved weekend retreat for locals. Here, you will stop at a well-known bar for a typical Sicilian aperitif and enjoy time to relax by the waterfront.

Following a brief period of free time, you will return to the coach for the journey back to Catania.
